Recuperation through Riding

This entry was posted in Racing on by .

Okay, another 3 hour night.  I got done working and packing around 3 am and had to get moving to go to the airport at 6am, so that is a total of about 9 or 10 hours of total sleep in three days.  I’m not sure why I’m not sick yet.

I’m laying over in Las Vegas, on my way to Orange County airport.  I didn’t even know where I was flying through and couldn’t understand why so many people were drinking at 8 am this morning past security.  And the plane, man, was it loud.   Everyone was really looking forward to hanging in Las Vegas.   I was so glad to be going on.

Rumor has it that Lance is doing the Mike Nosco ride on Monday.   At least according to Facebook.  I’ll hold off on commenting on this until after it’s over.  It’s not my ride.

Anyway, my body is wasted.  I’m pitifully weak, so the construction was frustrating at best.  I am moving so slow, everything was taking way too long.  So it is a good thing that I get a few days off and recuperate.  And there is no better recuperation than riding .  At least that feels mildly normal still.  I’m slow, but it feels good.

I’m missing The Beer Mile tonight being held in Topeka by all my buddies.  It’s probably a good thing I’m missing it.  Not too good for a gimpy guy like me.  But, everyone is invited, so come on over.

Okay, I need to get to the next gate.

I'm not going to be missin' these guys much.

My fingers are so wasted.  Mainly from thinset I'd guess.

Man, Las Vegas from the air is amazing.

Mike Nosco Ride this Morning

This entry was posted in Racing on by .

My computer died, so this is gonna be a bit short. This morning I’m doing the Mike Nosco Benefit arise north of LA in Newbury Park. I wonder if Lance is really gonna show?

Sue picked me up in Orange County and we did the drive up to Somis to stay with Jimmy Mac. We stopped at Venice Beach to get some lunch. Man, is that place a show.

We got up to Mac’s in time to do a short ride. Mac is great.

Anyway, below are some photos from yesterday. I can’t caption them because I posted them on my computer and now I’m using my phone and I can’t identify which is which.

We have a 20 minute drive over to the start. I hope LA traffic treats me nice today.
