back in the saddle!!

back in the mountain bike saddle for the first time since early july. club racing at Mt Crosby, great fun. taking so long off the bike my mountain skills were rubbish, and stupidly not doing a warm up meant that lap one was absolute pain. after a little throw up early on lap two, and getting lapped by a very fast bloke on a shiny yeti (who had a huge smile on his face) the race got a bit better. i started to be able to ride over things, not fall off, and breathe a little bit. Great fun, finished 7th of 8 in b grade, in a time that would have won c grade. i guess i belong in b grade then, woohoo!

not looking forward to tomorrow, got to get up at 4am to get to work for a 5am start. at least my bike will keep me company on the way to work. plus my cat died, so not a fun day :(

I'm also thinking about a new toy. i think i need a single speed commuting bike to get to work on. something like a schwinn madison, that could maybe be turned into a track bike if i ever felt that way inclined. See you all later folks!!
