I guess I’m off to St. Louis to race this weekend. A hilly criterium on Saturday and a long road race on Sunday. It’s supposed to be in the mid-90’s on Sunday. That is 35 degress warmer than what it’s been around here the last couple weeks. Great. I went out for 40 miles this afternoon. I’d say it was my worst day riding a bike this year. Great again. On a brighter note, the found kittens of last week are growing up like crazy. It is amazing how much food they can gobble down in such a short time. Maybe I have cat scratch fever and it’s not antibiotics/allergies. I’ll never know. Should be a painful experience the next couple days. Maybe I’ll be pleasantly surprised.

The Velonews piece, here, by Ben Delaney says exactly what I think about the whole Floyd situation. You should read it. He writes it much more eloquently than I ever could. I agree with him completely. Especially this sentence – “These claims must be investigated, with one of two outcomes — penalties must be leveled, or names must be cleared.” That is the only way for closure. And the sport does need closure in this instance.
