Athens Twilight, Mountain racing, and Mass

By jim | Published: April 27, 2009

So much to write about. I don’t know if I have the time to cover it all, but here’s a list for quick purposes:

  • Friday: 25 miles
    • ended up riding mass with a friend
    • a kid kicked over some bags of leaves and I cleaned it up
    • played flip cup (with water) and laughed a lot
  • Saturday: 60 miles
    • rode a 60mi group ride saturday AM that was fast as hell at the start
    • was chillin in the paceline at 30+ with almost no effort on the flats
    • got sunburned pretty good
    • Watched some very fast crits
  • Sunday: 10 miles (mtn miles count double, so more like 20)
    • raced in a mountain bike race
    • discovered I have better than average athletics and wind, but not that great technical ability on a mountain bike
    • grabbed some air at the end to show off for my teammates and nearly wrecked
    • came in 11th
    • watched Monsters Vs Aliens and laughed

    WAIT. Mountain bike miles count double? Why is this the first I’ve heard of it? I have to say I like that… I like it a lot.

  • Welcome!

    Hello and welcome, friend! My name is Jim and this is my blog, constructed entirely of dreams and opinions. My lawyer said that a disclaimer would be a good idea, but he didn't include any jokes to go with it. Damned if I can think of any either.
