090: Charles always becomes Chaz....

What was on the menu this weekend?

It all started with a wonderful bowl of tortilla soup.
Followed up by three tasty tacos:

A heaping serving of Cage the Elephant:

and for dessert a couple of wonderful rides:

Saturday Dennisbike, Rotten, Chappy, Sanford and I did a nice 3 hour ride for about 50 miles or so, weaving our way around locust point and the thriving community of Chesapeake City.

Chappy and Sanford were a little cautious about the snow shower and the road conditions just before we left and rode their full suspension mountain bikes for the ride.

those motherfuckers never pulled through.
I mean, they did the same 50 miles on their full suspension mountain bikes that I did on my road bike, and yet they just sat in the entire time. I mean... I mean wow... that was actually really impressive. I would been off like a prom dress... Nice job guys....

Speaking of being dropped, Sunday I did the Wilmington Training Crit.

I had fun racing in the small maybe 15 person field. Got some good work in. I tried to stay near the front and do some work, keep the pace moving. Perhaps to my detriment, as in the final two laps the University of Delaware Cycling team pretty much used me up like a $2 dollar whore on bring your roommate night. In the end, they took the top 2 spots, and I think I rolled in 4 or 5...
Hey you fuckers, I am Alumni ! How about a little respect for your elders, a little kindness?
Score college kids 1, old dudes 0...

throwing dirt on my grave you little bastards...

the course was super tight and short, not a great finish area, but the smaller field kept it pretty damn safe.

I think we did a million laps or something. It was awesome fun... It was wonderful to be outside, and to feel alive again for a few days...

Etown showed up too, just in time to lock my keys in the car... Super awesomeness...

love that guy, great racing with him again...

thanks for reading.

respect.
