After much waiting, anticipation, and nagging from fellow cyclists, Steve Jobs has finally hand delivered my antiquated Apple Powerbook back to me with a fresh new makeover.
As I begin my emersion back to the wonderful blogging world, for the sake of documentation, I am compelled to bring myself and all those up to speed of the most recent happenings.
When we last left off I was on the dawn of the illustrious six-gap ride. The ride went well but in all honesty I got a bit tired of watching the flying Jew ride away from me at the top of each summit, but in the words of Dybo, “Its all good”. A lot of soul searching can be achieved during 11,500 feet of climbing in 100 miles…I highly recommend it to all.
The 2008 Georgia training camp came to a close and I was forced to abandon the 9-day romanticized binge of professional cyclism and cumulative climbing of 42,000 feet and return to the life that enables me to butter my bread and have summers off. Surprisingly the delve back into work was not as bad as I dreaded it to be. The countdown to summer freedom is in full swing now and the light is very bright at the end of the tunnel.
Since my return, my fitness has felt good and my focus has felt even better, I am officially in all out W.C.I.F. mode and striving for cycling monkhood. Although we only have a handful of training races under our belt and some may argue that they are just that “training races” and that they mean nothing, I have to allow myself to bask in the 2008 success and overall cohesion of the team. In short we have had three wins, several seconds, a few thirds and an impressive plethora of top tens spreading out to all our riders. I, as well as several of teammates have experienced the never-get-used-to tingle of lapping the field on numerous occasions already. Just today, Dybo (fresh off his 1-2 finish with Mr. Klein just yesterday) and I took pleasure in claiming every prime A2 had to offer as well as another impressive 1-2 finish. That’s two big W’s for big Dybo for the weekend (or as the German would say, two double Vs). Things are looking up and I am overwhelmingly enthusiastic about the season. Once again, I love this team…I love this club.
