man, that was a hard week. motivation was at an all time low after 10 days away from work. however, the break has meant that the work stress induced cycling downward spiral had at least started to pick up a bit. i don’t feel so “blah” on the bike and have some motivation to get back some form. more importantly, i didn’t get dropped on mounts bay road on the thursday fast group ride.
iron horse – as shown in a previous post, a couple of spr guys have started a casual cycle clothing company. check it out. buy something.
shut up legs –um, i received a “shut up legs” t-shirt in the mail a couple of days ago from cycling tips blog. i didn’t order it. kate didn’t order it. there was no note or anything in it and it was addressed directly to me. sooo, i guess thanks to whomever sent me a christmas present.
crit series race 03 – race 3 of the crit series is on this weekend. unlike other races, this will be held at 3pm on saturday. grades a-d so something for everyone. make sure you have renewed your licence or you will not be allowed to race. for those that don’t know, if you haven’t received your new card yet, you just have to print out the email that cycling australia sent you when you renewed. this is proof of licence till your card arrives. even if you don’t want to race, come down to watch or help out as we can always use more volunteers on the day. setup starts at 2:00pm.
