Best Medicine Ever...

Dear Readers,

Last week was a weird one for me. Work was really intense. I had some weird allergy/ cough thing. I was shot-gunning airborne like a college kid doing shots in a dorm room. I didn't sleep well, and in the end, I just didn't feel like myself.

Saturday morning Consorto, Monkey and I went out to do openers, and I was awful. I pulled the plug mid ride. "I'm not racing tomorrow, I am a hot mess."
Ladies and Gentlemen- Your Deluxx Bikes Cyclocross Team! Diane had to threaten Lux to get him to smile.

I went home and took a nap-Well, a shower and then a nap.

Saturday Night,  Diane and I met up with some close friends at Old South Smoke House in Port Deposit, MD.
Magic Healing powers through these doors...
the company was amazing, great laughs, a great time...

then the food came.

I had the best pit ham, bacon, swiss cheese on a pretzel roll sandwich I ever had in my life. It was so good, I was wishing I ordered a second to take home.  21st amendment had a tap take over and all kinds of prizes. I WON A GROWLER OF BEER!

That meal changed my life.

I went home and went to sleep.

I woke up the next morning feeling like a million bucks. The magical healing powers of pit ham, bacon and swiss cheese had brought me back !
Anne Freakin' Rock...
I threw some kit in my bag and loaded up the car. Diane came out and said, " you're racing!?" I just smiled...

I was pleased with my race. I have said it a number of times, Crossasaurus Awesome is not the best race in the Mid Atlantic, but it is my favorite. The course is just amazing, the fun vibe, and the course encourages group racing. It was another battle with 10 of my peers/rivals  pretty much all together with a lap to go... So much fun racing in that group...

Monk continued to improve and have a great season. Theis course favored strong bike driving and worked really well for her. She was stoked with her ride.


I'm not gonna lie, the pit ham sandwich saved my cross race man. Airborne's got nothing on that sandwich man...

thanks for reading.
