What's in the Barn?

Four days and counting! In this last run up to the 24 hour race there has been some talk about the training up to this point and where we all stand. I for one am a firm believer in the 365 day training cycle as the proper prep for this annual event! The men of FT3 have been on it for the last year, battling through foul weather when others wouldn't ride, racing our tails off in a "kick ya in the teeth" cyclocross campaign, and staying true to an unbroken chain of Tuesday nights. Therefore my friends, get your rest and get ready to throw down hard as hell! As discussed on Hackomiller last weekend, keep it looking Fast and Loose while all the while knowing that you are full of some HTFU!
I will be hitting the trainer at home this evening, unfortunately work calls and I cannot make the ride. However, seeing on the hays well...where it is suppose to be, I think this will be ok.

Mosquito at 5:45...Exit 54?

Saturday is rapidly approaching...time to man up!

Until we Race,
LOtB

  1. Those jerseys in that CX video are so "last year". Nice mix Lars.
    "One" - guy w/hay to keep dry and legs to keep pumped. I'll be slow chilling like a crock pot tonight.

  3. "Two" - guy with leaky barn, damp hay, guarded DTI, and soaring spirit! Will be at Mosquito lot, but may be a couple min late. Oh, and I've heard the "chilling" comment before...

  4. I thought we covered this a week ago. Is this the last Jack Frost ride of '09-'10 or the first one of the winter of '10-'11?

  13. HoHo My Elves, you up to pranks, I just dropped in to give you thanks - sorry old family joke that goes way way back. could not resist. I do roll w/a 2 pack on lights. One is giving me a bit of a fit these days (don't tell Cappy) but between me and Ghost I think you are covered. Besides, I may only ride till dark - JK.

  15. I wonder what jello on a taco would taste like? Pour some PBR on it too.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I would think most bike mag reading would be done the morning after having tacos.

  17. I am riding. Although it will be short and slow. Peter likes it that way.

  18. Love, love...are you kidding me...I figured out how to splice movie clips together and add music to them...love, this all about team 1...who was in the video (sorry Bambi, I failed to ride with a camera rolling)...the love is going to be flying around Cool on Sat/Sun. You enjoy being wet and cold tonight, I will enjoy a meeting! Love...give me a break, I am all about love!

  19. I love the sound of the hidden comment field when it blows up. It woke me from a dead sleep. Home sic today. Putting all my eggs in the weekend basket and taking this wet evening off. Team 1, don't fret hay is in the barn and I will double down on saturday. I expect a full recovery by friday

  20. A couple spoon fulls of berzerker should cure whatever you have Cappy......or make it worse.

  21. whoa Larz the iphone has taken your viddy skills to a new level!

    ReplyDelete
  22. That would be the iMac, but when it boils down to it is just about the iMe throwing in down on the iBike this weekend at the i24hr Race while iPontificate on some iHTFU style! iOut

  23. This comment is not directed at anyone nor intended to hurt anyone's feelings. It is not about weather, bikes or excuses. I am not done with it however as I still have some pointless ramblings to make. Point 1, my feet are wet (that is not a weather comment, you only think it is), Point 2 I just saw car w/headlights on and it is still daylight outside, point 3 is that I am now done rambling.

  24. By the way I road the raceloop at cool on saturday, the mud is like peanut butter. Will be interesting conditions on saturday and sunday.

  25. Perhaps NoHandle is delivering a safety message, reminding us to ride with fenders and flashing lights.

  26. How have the knott tacos been as of late?

    ReplyDelete
  27. And sauce selection? May pick up some Vissalia Peach

    ReplyDelete
  28. Isnt it Viddalia Peach? Picking up a Vissalia peach might get you into trouble.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Ha ha I don't know what its called been so long since I've been to the knott.

    ReplyDelete
  30. But seriously, I did not fall off my rocker.
    I'll be at Mosquito at 5:45 and I love you all even if you can not make it once in a while.
    C'Man had a great selection of sauces recently, not much new at the KH.
    If you want to get on Denise's good side order in odd #s, watch, I'll show you tonight.
