A short history of an art major venturing outside the free-lance world into actual art, a use-to-be bicycle racer, and a fascination with the other side of the world.

Feeling Slug-gish again
Cruising during a ride last September.....
I haven't done much outdoors since the Sunday ride outside of some yard work and walking the dogs. Team LaS'port's "Death Blow" training camp is currently going on and I didn't make either the Tuesday or today's 100-mile rides. Looks like I won't make the Thursday one due to a rush job for Blackwell on a 4-page "catalog" I've got to get out for them. I turned in the first draft today and, depending on when they finish proofing it, I've got to try to get it to the printer sometime Thursday afternoon! As much as I need the riding, I also need the money, so I'll be cozying up to the computer to get this job out. Maybe I can get an afternoon ride in on the TT bike.
Speaking of TT's, the 20K time trial in Monroe is the 24th and I won't be in one lick of decent shape for it. But I'll give it a go and I'm hoping I can get under 32 minutes. Last October I did a 30:22 on the same course after having mechanical problems before my start and ended up using a rear wheel that I didn't want to use. Jonnene's going to give it a shot, too, but she hasn't been riding as much as she'd like either. Her bike's been in the shop all week getting a tuneup but she'll have to get a new chain and shifter which are on order and will be added later on. She's just too tough on her bike! She needs to be gentle on her ride like I am...I'm still using parts that are about 15 years old on my bikes! Hey, I ride it till it breaks!
