...because I love it....but there's more.
It's been a while since I've posted anything. I must admit
I've been off trails for a while, but putting in
hours/days/weeks/months in the pool and on the road, (road
biking and road running).
Racing: I've had a few races so far this year and my leg
strength and endurance have been exceptional so
far....mostly due to single speeding, IMHO. In years past
even with heavy training I haven't been able to bring my
times down as much as I have as when I started SSing.
Preaching: If you haven't done so yet, get a SS and start
enjoying it...that's an order.
Barneys: I don't know about other areas, but where I ride
here in MD the trails have been overrun with trail poaching
knuckle heads! (and Cicadas...love it) They usually clear
out with the summer whether 95 F and 95% humidity...the
trail poaching knuckle heads that is....bring on the heat!
Workouts: When it's hot that's the best time to get the SS
out. There is not a better workout on the planet, physically
and mentally.
Bike: I finally had to replace my Avid pads....wow never
thought discs would be so damn good. The D.I.S.S feels like
it did when I bought it about 2 years ago. I didn't think it
would last this long...something was bound to give....guess
I was wrong again ;-).
Going To California: I'll be in Beverly Hills late
August...I need to work out the details but I hope there's
time to ride or do a trail run out there. Any local
knowledge would be key, TIA.
Peace and thanks for reading my stream of
consciousness, Bill
The mind serves properly as a window glass rather than as a
reflector, that is, the mind should give an immediate view
instead of an interpretation of the world.
