It hurts so good!

Good morning world!

Just thought I would get a brief Blog in before I head off to work to clean up my bikes and help out the people of the Cedar Valley with all their bicycle needs.

I went out yesterday morning for a 2 hour spin around to see how the leg feel after the 24 hour race in Montana. The legs felt great, but my ass felt like someone was sticking me with a fork everytime I sat down on my saddle. My co-work (The-Chad) last night had the honor of listening to me talk about my ass pain. I bet he loved that! I guess riding the hard tail for 23 hours in the race was the smartest thing to do for my body. Oh well, I am sure i will heal.

Tonight is yet another Thursday night group road ride. I am going to show up on my Gaint XTC hardtail, so i can work on leg speed some more. I am really going to be pushing it pretty hard these next couple weeks , cause the 12 Hour National Champonships are coming up on July 16-17-18 in the mountain biking mecca of Duluth, Minnesota. Check out the link. Its a Sports and Music festival. Willie Nelson is supposed to be playing during the race. What a better way to suffer than to listen to Willie Nelson and ride for 12 hours. Ahhhhh....bicycles, and guitar playing pot smokers!

In other notes, 2 of my Cateye Enduro teammates had great results these past few weeks. Lou K., pulled off a 2 place in the womens race at the Cascade Creampuff 100 out in Oregon, and Eric W. raged to a win at the 12 Hours of Weaverville out in California.

This weekend is July 4th! Fireworks are not allowed in Iowa, but I am suer I will find some and blow stuff up. I can't think of any better way to celebrate the USA's freedom , than to blow off 3 of my fingers. I suppose i could go out and do a long mnt bike ride......fireworks, ride, fireworks, ride, fireworks, ride......? Ride it is! I am planning on heading down to Sugarbottom in Iowa City on Sunday for a 8-10 hour training ride.

Thanks for reading and have a exciting day!
