Very Nice

Pretty much a good sum up to the weekend.
Early rise for stop #1 in the MASS Enduro series. French Creek 5 hr marathon was pretty sweet. Mostly because of the rock star trail conditions the endurnace racers had for our first two laps. A few tweeks on the one climb made it awesome fun this year. i do not remember some of the super fast twisties from last year. Niiice. Yeah i miss the road, nahhhh. People are way too nice and trails are way to good. There is not a single road event where you can challenge yourself like most of the MASS races. There is not a single road event where you can hang out afterwards and talk with friends who, gasp, do not even wear the same funny colored clown suit as you. imagine that. Sez, I think the four corner crit is actually the new inline skating. Think about it. Really only a few people actually inline skate for fitness. The rest just take a few strokes and coast along. That is essentially most any crit. Only a few guys actually work. Most just sit in the draft a pedal a few times. If there were such a thing as group inline skating i am sure there would be a person that would just sit at the back and wait for the final inline sprint.
No race report to give. The race was super fun and I felt strong and happy with what I did. Steevo I did give a "salute". It was kind of a Pete Townshend right arm guitar windmill. Not sure where the eff that came from. I guess that is what makes them special. No pics, no baby binkies, no pre-rehearsed stuff. Just zip up the jersey and enjoy the moment.
About two hours of bike cleaning was even enjoyable. The neighbor was impressed with the Stones, Stripped, playing while I was cleaning. The mom and little girl who commented on my broken bike last week, came by to say hello and ask about the race. A few other neighbors even stopped for a chat. Very cool.
Nice ride with the Adams family today. Nancestress killed it yesterday with an awesome 3rd place. She was out hammering today. The only weekend downside was the 1:15 ride home into a 20ish mph headwind, at the end of 4 hours. Grrrr.
Cooked dinner for Mother's day. I must say it was pretty good. Not E-town foodie good, but very tasty good. poached Salmon, grilled portabella's in a Thai peanut sauce and a killer veggie tortellini salad.
Planted some flowers and the back yard looks even better. It is even raining now, so the timing is impeccable. Now I just need to get some peeps over to enjoy it.
All in all a pretty nice weekend.
Damn I am tired. Time for a therapeutic beer/hot tub session.
