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
Those jerseys in that CX video are so "last year". Nice mix Lars.
ReplyDelete"One" - guy w/hay to keep dry and legs to keep pumped. I'll be slow chilling like a crock pot tonight.
I'll be meeting at Mosquito Lot tonight.
ReplyDelete"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...
ReplyDeleteI 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?
ReplyDeleteII.
I'm out. I'm in need of some rest, work and chore time.
ReplyDeleteI still have 3 kits ready for pick up. Ian, Curtis and Cameron; ping me for a meet up.
Ah yes a wintry prelude to get us through the hot months!
ReplyDeleteLike you did that missing arm warmer?
ReplyDeleteHas anyone noticed that Peter never comes out for the wintry rides. What is he up to?
ReplyDeleteIs tonight another dress rehearsal?
ReplyDeleteFourish?
Anyone want a Durace rear derailer and shifters?
Fivish.
ReplyDeleteI don't care what ghost does, but I'm not wearing a dress.
Down tube shifters?
Funny
ReplyDeleteno they are brake lever/shifters.
They came off the rocklobster.
I have a spare light you can run if you want.
ReplyDeleteShit foo, I tink HoHandle is the bees nees!
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.
ReplyDeleteMore like Team 1, where you at? I'm not feeling the love.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what jello on a taco would taste like? Pour some PBR on it too.
ReplyDeleteI would think most bike mag reading would be done the morning after having tacos.
ReplyDeleteI am riding. Although it will be short and slow. Peter likes it that way.
ReplyDeleteLove, 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!
ReplyDeleteI 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
ReplyDeleteA couple spoon fulls of berzerker should cure whatever you have Cappy......or make it worse.
ReplyDeletewhoa Larz the iphone has taken your viddy skills to a new level!
ReplyDeleteThat 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
ReplyDeleteThis 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.
ReplyDeleteBy the way I road the raceloop at cool on saturday, the mud is like peanut butter. Will be interesting conditions on saturday and sunday.
ReplyDeletePerhaps NoHandle is delivering a safety message, reminding us to ride with fenders and flashing lights.
ReplyDeleteHow have the knott tacos been as of late?
ReplyDeleteAnd sauce selection? May pick up some Vissalia Peach
ReplyDeleteIsnt it Viddalia Peach? Picking up a Vissalia peach might get you into trouble.
ReplyDeletemy feet are still wet.
ReplyDeleteHa ha I don't know what its called been so long since I've been to the knott.
ReplyDeleteBut seriously, I did not fall off my rocker.
ReplyDeleteI'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.
Did your toilet back up when while reading bike mag hohandle or were you out on a lunch ride?
ReplyDeleteIs anyone stoked for this weekend? I know I am
ReplyDeleteLets make it a cool 40 comments in the hidden comment field.
ReplyDeleteI would be more stoked if I was gearing up for another wet FT3 ride
ReplyDeleteGonna ride thursday road in auburn feel free to come along. Its good time with open mic at a local bar afterwards.
