I Made That Headwind My Bitch Today...

...and other random thoughts.







It took me a couple miles to warm up this morning. Odd because it was 90 degrees out when I left. Once I warmed up, I was in the groove! Felt good to be out there today. The first thing that came to mind with the wind is that it's gonna suck for the firefighters up north if it's windy up there too. Please keep them in your thoughts.





Usually as I ride, I am thinking about one particular thing and working it out in my headf. Today, was a bunch of random stuff. Here's what went on in my head today:



...if you're going to cut me off when turning left in front of me, commit to it. Don't go, then slow, then go; just sack up and cut me off!



...feeling good that I saw a bee fly into my helmet and I was able to remove my helmet, free the bee and put the helmet back on without missing a pedal stroke.



...traffic around churches on a Sunday morning is crazy! (there were no less than 15 in the last 12 miles of my ride-at least that's when I started counting).




...I hate it when I see families riding and only the kids have helmets on. If a car plowed you guys, the kids will likely get to grow up without parents. Not worth the lack of "helmet hair".



...feeling kinda bad-ass from shifting into the big ring and throwing the chain and being able to get the chain back on while still rolling down the road!


...while the "vanilla gingerbread" GU is delicious, on a hot summer day, it just doesn't work.



...I need to start my rides earlier. It's damn hot!



...le Tour starts soon!



...I need to ride more...



...gonna jump in the pool when I get home to cool off.



...ahhhhhhh
