I hate cable and the internet

So I get a day off from everything. No work. No class (as the breaker pointed out in the last post). Nothing to do at all. I woke up at an reasonable hour, ate breakfast, got online to see what the day had in store, and set a time to ride of 2 to 5 pm, when the weather would be the best.

It is now 8:16 and my butt is still closely acquainted with the vinyl cushion on my couch. And while the sun never really came out, it was certainly a nice enough day to ride. Yet I will be riding on my trainer tonight.

Like I said, I hate cable and internet.

Hitting the Road Again

Monday started out cool and damp. Not a bad day for a bike ride, but not a great day either. So I hit the road to school on the C'dale. No big deal.

Then I got out of class in the afternoon planning a longer ride. That is when I noticed something. That fine mist that had made the morning commute interesting had turned into a nice drizzle. And before I knew it my I was soaked through. But I kept on riding heading out along the North Holston and doubling back towards Haytor's Gap. Finally I reached the turn off for Rich Valley Rd, which takes me to Abingdon.

This where it hit me that I was a) cold and b) hungry. Evidently having only Lornaduns for lunch and Poptarts for breakfast can be detrimental to cycling perfrmance. Which is kinda funny, because I just realized that is what I have had today and am planning another fun ride (more on that later).

Needless to say I suffered it out and didn't call Caitlyn or Andrea. But I did eat two pieces of cake, a large amount of mac and cheese, and a heaping portion of barbeque. All of which I can add to the marks agains me reaching my racing weight.
