Spring is in the Air Solo 41

 Solo 41 on the SGRT. Nice day, nice week, nice everything! Not much happening these days but maybe because I start so late. Thinking that I should be able to get up easily at 6 or 7 am to hit the trail is always my intent seeing that we get up at 4 am every weekday for work. But Saturday comes and I'm a zombie in the morning. Hate that feeling waking up at 4 am thinking you're late only to realize it's Saturday ha ha ha! So I didn't end up getting out of bed till like 9:30 and started late, so everybody is heading back while I'm heading out. Usually about 20 to 30 cars parked in the lot around the cycling section but when I get back, maybe 3 ha ha ha!

Oh yeah, and Christian was really happy with the shout outs in the video. Showed his parents as well saying they got a kick out of it. This was the Saturday video so when we went in on Sunday, it was quite entertaining. They really take care of us to the point they argue about which section we will sit and who will serve us. I'll post the story in my Sunday ride blog post, crazy young people ha ha ha!

Christian did say he saw the comment where I posted that I am almost 62 and said he was shocked as his father is 52 and we look the same age. I guess being a tipper has it's perks ha ha ha!

Really cracks me up, the insecurity of so many cyclists. If I see a faster rider go by me, I watch him ride off thinking, MORE POWER TO HIM!!! I admire them knowing they are strong riders. But so many insecure people, I'm guessing the drive really big trucks and have little pee pee complexes ha ha ha! 

Saturday, about 3 miles before the coast, I passed a couple of riders, friends I'm guessing riding together. I passed them then down the road, I got a feeling, looked back and one of the dudes was on my wheel. So he's got fancy deep set carbon wheels and you're drafting me? So I moved over, picked up my water bottle, took a drink then looked back at him as if to say, go ahead dude! He took off like a rocket and sprinted ahead. I just kept my pace and sure enough, as usual, he faded like a cheap tattoo. Rolled right by him a couple minutes later as he sat up to shake his arm as if he was really hurting. OK, usual story ha ha ha!  Caught him on video about 20 yards ahead looking strong.............for about 2 minutes ha ha ha!
