tired legs
after standing on my feet at work for literally 45.5 hours last week, you wouldnt have expected me to have ridden the past couple days. and yet i did. and my legs certainly hate me. but riding the past couple days have been fabulous.
yesterday was a super easy day with this kid matt who is a soph at pitt. today was with a big group from the pitt cycling club. the group quickly went from a bakers dozen to 5. most went on an easier loop and i went with the training ride group. our group of 5 was then to 4 when one of the dudes bailed. the tempo was certainly harder than i expected. i was expecting a sort of tempo pace, with the idea being that i could take about 4 or 5 easy days of riding into my trip down to jmu for career fair and riding with my homies. anyways, two of the dudes were pretty quick. i was ok for the most part. lost contact on a couple hills, but for the majority of the half dozen or so significant climbs we did, i was just fine. definitely red-lining it, but hangin in there. it was, however, a pleasant surprise knowing that there are some strong dudes on the pitt cycling team. nice guys too.
i got to see my new frame, fork, and cranks on thursday, and i just about needed a new pair of shorts. the carbon lugs are huuuge. the carbon tubes have the sexiest waves. the fsa cranks are disgustingly sleek. and it all weighed less than nothing. i worked out the financing plan i are doing for the bike and figured out the size bars (40) and stem (100) i am going to use. still need to determine if i am going to use a kick-back seatpost or not. all depends on the knee position. but i am boring you, arent i?
i cannot wait to leave for jmu thursday afternoon. it is going to be a phenomenal extended weekend. 5 nights back at school with some old friends and one incredibly attractive lady. and we must not forget the 800 sweaty students looking for a job on monday night. who would want to miss that?? but before i go, i will need to pick up the mp3 player i won at the office and about 8 dick's cycling jerseys to give to the club. they will be super stoked.
hope your weekend is going swimmingly.
