tuesday, test, rmr

tuesday: off of work, so what else is there to do, well.......power/hr test with dh....was a good test, felt ok, but think i could have gone harder, isn't that always the case though.. so 8:30am, get on board and head to the testing location.. get there 9:30, go right in and get started, nice little warm up, then it's go time. every 2 min ramp up the power a little bit until it gets real hard.....well at least it feels that way, i mean come on it's only 10miles......on the trainer, ouch. it was hard during, but didn't feel all that hard afterward...cooled down, got back on board and rode home.
the afternoon was spent working on and boxing a friend's bike....not my fav thing to do, but whatever i'm game to help a friend out.
rmr.......met the usual suspects at 9th & 9th to ride out. happy i didn't get too close to the front as i didn't have to pull the whole way out. got there, did the usual signed in, paid $, pre rode the course. then it was meet and discuss race with the crew. i should also mention that i was feeling a little pooped. i was dumb enough to open my mouth and say something like: "i wouldn't mind winning one of these things" and milner was like, ok game on.....we tired to go a couple times but the field was just too big and all over the place to make your way to the front with a small group, there must have been a good 60+people in the field, and the course was not it's usual the coner after the drag strip was off, cement barriers and stupid people trying to take an inside line...needless to say we couldn't' get away, so i continued to sit in and be in the right place for a field sprint...well i wasn't and even if i was i didn't have the legs to go......enough winning..
the ride home was entertaining: mike, tyler and i started out then along came sam(goober) who's trying to tell mike how to race...i mean come on, mike's winning and your trying to chase the break down that he's in, your an idiot....so what happens next is: i say: "ohhh, gotta take a pee break, can we stop for a min or two?" mike knows what's going on, and makes sure tyler slows up as well....well bye bye sam, then we rode a mellow pace, but still continued to catch up to other riders and leave them behind....(i should also mention that i didn't really have to pee, just wanted to get rid of annoyances)
got into town, and it was time to take it mellow...went to this little hole in the wall wine/light food place that was fantastic.....the food was so good, the service was good....the atmosphere was good...the company was great.....
then grocery store to stock up on gummy and cinnamon bears, yeah........
sleep...
