Stupidness

Let me tell you what is really mind-boggling stupid.  Attendance in college classes, especially if its one of those classes you don’t even have to go to get an A.  THIS IS COLLEGE.  If I decide that I don’t have to go to class, that’s on me.  I pay for the ability to decide.  Usually it’s the lazy profs who take attendance to try and make it appear as though something important is going on.

Ready for the ECCC

I am ready for Rutgers. I can't sleep because I keep visualizing decimating the Crit.

I spent nearly 5 hours today prepping the bike for the season. I installed a new DuraAce crankset on my baby, its hella stiff and feels so nice.

I also trued all the wheels, tuned the deraileurs, rewrapped the bars, and replaced the chain (mavic ones don't mesh so well) .

Let's go ECCC.

Never again

From this day forward, nothing gets in the way of my training.  Nothing keeps me from riding my bike when I am supposed to.  Not even when I nearly electrocute myself.

Finally Rode today! and Asylum

I finally rode today. It was magnificent. The weather was gorgeous. Nuff said.

Oh, and Ritchey's WCS Bar and Stem are suprisingly hella stiff for their weight. Much stiffer than my previous FSA stem and Bontrager bar.

If I get another mountain bike...it must be an Asylum OCD. 29er full suspension based off the Titus racer-x for Speedgoat. Oh goodness. Perfect for epic rides and my shitty back. Plus when I ride a 29er mtb I feel like a little kid again- giddy and stuff.

Sickness! Cross?

Hopefully this is the last night I am stuck with this sickness, whatever it is.  I just can’t seem to stay healthy for too long.  Perhaps I have a weak immune system?

Man, there is this Colnago Dream Cross bike on e-Bay I really am into.  It would be a matching sister to my road bike and I really want to try some cross.  Not to mention it would make a great bike for commuting as I will do a lot more of it next year.  I can slap fenders in the winter and wide, knobby tires to get through the State College muck.

Don’t get me wrong, I love my fixie, but I am getting tired of commuting on it.  And while I am rather ballsy in traffic with it, sometimes I realize I have tempted death on numerous occasions and for some reason death let go, probably for the chance to go another round.  I would rather turn it into a track bike or sell it and put the funds towards a track bike.  I wish there were a track closer than T-Town.  That’s what this campus needs- a velodrome.

Blah

Very little time to ride this week. It's hell week of the play, which means after Saturday I will have all the time in the world to ride. Huzzah.

I AM NOT LOOKING FOWARD TO LIVING ON CAMPUS AGAIN. That will make it 5 years of living on campus for me. I want my own place- a nice little apartment with a bedroom and a kitchen and living room. Thats all I want. A roomier place to keep my bikes. A couch and a television to relax. A kitchen to cook my own meals and control what I eat a little more.

Damnit... I know people say to stay in school as long as you can. But 5 years is a lot of college, especially on campus. And definatley if you are going to grad school for J.D./MBA.

More motivation to put my all into attempting to go pro. I want nothing more than to race my bike and travel the country/world.
