19 DEGRESS?? WHATEVER!

Is this November or January? I was trying to talk myself out of riding tonight all day at work today. Going in at 5am and securing my load for Knoxville at a nice "19 degrees" is what I kept reminding myself all day long. After getting home and contemplating riding or not I knew I would be glad that I did if I did.

I just got home @730 pm from some CX practice and I'm glad I rode. DAM was it cold though! Did I mention that it was COLD???? After about 3 laps of following Mike Seek my toes were going numb. My core finally warmed up and I down zipped my jacket about 3 inches. That made it feel just about right on the inside. 3 more laps and my toes were stinging. After 6 laps I'm heading for home in the warm exploder. I'm so hooked lately on CX. Maybe it's the new Masi or maybe it's just something different. You get out there and after two laps your inside is screaming at you and asking why are you doing this? Then right after your done your looking foward to going to another race somewhere, ain't that crazy?? (Sorta like some trailer-park-trash woman that gets the crap beat out of her by her BF and 5 minutes later she's screaming "BUT I LOVE HIM OFFICER" ) Tomorrow brings a night ride at Warriors with some guys in the mtn bike club, its going to be freezing tomorrow night also......oh well whats a cyclist to do in the cold???

Below is another cool graphic of the GRT (Granny's Rotten Teeth) team. There are about 6 of us on it now. Its usually used for team endurance events although I'm trying to get team co-founder Greg to get us some jerseys so we can run the GRT logo all year with my other sponsors. This graphic is from Anthony's blog...........





I was doing some googling the other day and I ran across this unique wind chime. What did I do? I went to my old parts bin and wa - la I have me all the pieces parts to build my own!!! Stay posted for Scooby's art work to grace the web pages ahead.
