10.9.10

2010.40-41: 8/30-9/12 (i'm rollin' on, just rollin' on)

well, if you haven't guessed now that my season is over, this blog is going to get pretty quiet. i'll see you in december. as for riding and/or training, here we go:

Week of 9/6:

Thursday: rode to roadworx (shop of the gods, they say) to order some parts for my powertap wheel. i don't know if i've mentioned this before, but i'm building up a powertap wheel. in case that wasn't obvious from the previous sentence. as for the ride, it was windy, and i felt slow. same old, same old. one interesting anecdote to add though: i rode past a building with two flagpoles, maybe 20 feet apart. one flag was pointed straight out from the wind, and the other was hanging straight down, seemingly without any wind. weird.

Wednesday: rode before work. felt sluggish again. i've been feeling that way a lot lately.

week of 8/30:
Friday: Rode with Kurt through the hurricane. We were hoping to stop at roadworx (the crown jewel of bike shops) so he could get fit on his new cannondale, but things didn't work out. instead, we did some hills and whatnot.
