Jr. Pan Am Games Mar del Plata, Argentina

Girls Points Race won by Mexico. I think she won every sprint, all the pts. and of course the race. The track is supposed to get a roof in the coming years.

Is the track good prep for cyclocross?

I think it is but I have yet to try it as such.

See the Ground Under your Cycling Shoes?

It's not supposed to be pretty. But it is.

Team dfL

Yeah Bro, that's my team. We gonna win some we gonna lose some. We gonna be dead freaking Last in some.

She Looks Like a Monster....but I Love Her.

Sorry honey, this was a bad angle. Your head looks too big for your body just like mine.

You want to go fast and I am not yet worthy.

I will make you proud one day.

We will go far away.

There will be star spangled banners waving at us.

We will be with friends in Kentucky.

You and I and our family and friends.

Promise me this Miss Big Head.

Drinking Mate will make you Faster

It's good enough for even the little ones. It would probably take quite a few to get you positive in a performance enhancing drug test (caffeine). It will make you spin faster, go faster and speak faster. Do what the Uraguayos y Argentinos do. Mate loves you.

Tijuana - Tecolote Canyon San Diego Commute

Tomorrow

Manana

I will ride down the steep hill

deciding the route to the Tijuana River Valley

where I will cross the border
to my homeland

where I dont live anymore.

Route 1 is steeper, quicker and winner were it

not for the rock and mud debris leftovers from the rain.

Route 2 is slicker, cooler, longer and safer but no time bonus.
I will ride to work. Daylight will be waiting

for me to pile outta the front door clipping in

snapping the sleeping birds from nestings perch.

Blinking back light shine on for me this morn
coffee lips

puffing sips

to keep my mind's body appetite.

Spirit sing on as I make peace with my ritual song.

Off Season

it's the off season. time for reflection, lack of fitness attention and general malaise induced by craft beer drinking combined with overeating. I have no goals. this is dangerous to one inspired by getting ass kicked by fit younger athelets. especially true when i am not riding let alone with these fit socal folk who stay fit and count calories on the daily.
