Rollers, Highways, and Hangovers

The weekend started good with the Roller Races at Atown Brewworks. Took the family and Svatek and Rich joined us.

The place was packed. Nice to see everyone out after a winter of hibernation on rollers and trainers.

Bobby Lea won the event. He tried his best to handicap himself with a couple of pitchers but still won. Kuklic did not qualify for the "tournament" as a result of some roller malfunction during his TT. Diefenbach? Torch? Nelman? Lakatosh? That's okay. Kuklic drank his troubles away, as usual.

Saturday's ride was postponed from 9 to 10 as a result of the 10s of pitchers we all consumed. Nobody was particularly fresh for this jaunt. We had some Milwaukee Mimosas and hit the road.

Christine, Plunkett, Bill, Beth, Taaaaaaylor, Kuklic, Svatek, Matt A., Steak. Had to reroute for PJs, that weak-ass bailed on his mtb ride 'cause he's a wuss. That took us off my planned route and had us all f-ed up. I was a horrible navigator but the group got to see some of the sights up here in NW Lehigh County: Leaser Lake, Route 309, etc. Everyone appreciated my skills.

We climbed Bake Oven road. It was shit. Clay-like mud that sapped your legs. Quick descent and we were headed home. About 4 hours.

Sunday brought the Derby and Shit Crit. Went fine. Just did the 1st race at the Shit Crit and watched the horsepower roll away. Thats cool for me right now. First intensity of the year felt okay. Should improve weekly.

Weather here sucks today. Let's hope it doesn't ruin the whole week.

BTW: Boonen won KBK yesterday...Social drugs DO enhance your performance.
