Hey Lance! (insert sound of beer belch here)

What a great Tuesday. Well, not really... Its typical fall Iowa weather: rainy and a balmy 50 degrees. This is what the weather is supposed to be like for the next 3 or so days. SWEEEEEET!

I have been commuting to work by bike now since the end of the race season. This is the only riding I am getting in for the next 3 weeks. Then is time to hit the weight room and start actually training on the bike in anticipation for the 2005 season.....WAHOOO! I normally don't commute to work by bike during the season due to the fact that I stand around on my feet all day. It's tough to stand around for 6-8 hours a day than come home and try to put in a 3-6 hour day on the bike during the summer. Well, training is done for now, so I am riding to work.

There hasn't been anything overly exciting in terms of stories to tell from the recent commutes. Last night I was flashed by like 3 cars, cause my Cateye Stadium 3 light was burning out their eyeballs. What do I say......"Deal with it". The other day I took the long-way home on my commute and rode through the UNI campus. Sure enough there were these frat punks sitting on their steps gorging on brew. Their comment......(in a Beavis or Butthead voice)..."Hey Lance (insert burp sound here)!" And just think, those fit athletes, I mean drunk'n fools are the future of this country. Huh, huh, huh he said "fit".

Today, it's raining so I am going to have to dig out my CRAFT rain gear (see yesterdays post). Getting to work dry will be no problem-o with this gear. Some other rock'n commuting gear is Nema shorts. They fit like regular cycling shorts, plus they has high style factor. I recommend the Crown Jewel shorts. Check out the link: NEMA CLOTHING....chicks dig it!

Well, that's about it. I get to work the night shift.....again. That is why I recently got my Night Monkey certification. So I will be heading to work soon. Also I have checked into some part-time work for the off-season. I hope that comes through otherwise I won't be able to pay all da bills during the winter months.

Oh jeeze, how could I forget this.....CONGRATS to Iowa boy Jason McCartney from Iowa City for getting hooked up on the newly formed Discovery Cycling Team for 2005. I bet him and Lance are best buds now!

I wonder what organic food the Dirtram consumed today?

Out.
