Superior Morgul Classic - Race report centered around me because shit, I'm writing it.
- Report Stages 1-3
I lost.
If I ever win a race expect a novel.
Trainin'
- Been putting in some big miles this last week in preparation for a busy June/July of racing. Some climbing, flats, and dirt roads. The three necessities for being strong like bull. Big props to the guys over at Fascat. Sometimes I suffer unbelievably. Usually it works out.
- This amount of training/work also makes it extremely difficult to partake in mentally stimulating activities. I remember reading a Ted King giro blog and was actually annoyed when he missed a post (how dare he). Now I am in awe that he could spare enough motivation to type actual words. Look for a post soon about how to actually do things after a long ride.
- Check out my strava (shameless plug) if you want to see more.
What I'm Reading
- Infinite Jest - David Foster Wallace
Brick of bricks of a novel. Takes place in the Year of the Depend Adult Undergarment (not joking) and is excellent. Also contains footnotes that can be enraging. Recommended only if you have a month or so to hang out in a secluded area with limited distractions. Kind of like trying to read every single issue of The Economist.
- What's The Matter With Kansas? - Thomas Frank
Interesting if you're into political science and modern day shifts in political polarities. Also interesting if you are liberal and/or super liberal OR want to become prescient of the future U.S. political climate. I'm late in reading this but that's okay.
- The Racketeer - John Grisham
I thoroughly enjoy the work of John Grisham and I'm not ashamed of that. Nough said. Excellent book as always. Legal conspiracies are the best.
What I'm Listening To
- Sylvan Esso - Try out the titles Coffee, Play it Right, Hey Mami.
- What So Not - High You Are (Branchez Remix)
- Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros - Let's Get High, Better Days, Man on Fire
- Serengeti - Anything. Ridiculous stuff.
What I'm Watching
- Documentaries from the depths of Nobo Corner Library.
- Cycling youtube vids.

Pics Or It Didn't Happen
A real sticky situation on Chapman Drive. That's a road bike.
North Boulder Park is finally nice enough for my bare feet
Chrvches Concert. Cyclist do fun things sometimes I swear.
I tried to do my own mechanic work before Gila...
David and Rachel's Graduation Party. Andy and I made Cake. It's a Ribbon. See?
Cold Brew Coffee or die. Try it out in a smoothie or when you're in a rush in the mornings. Low acidity, great taste.
Team Dinner at the Rio. Steak Fajitas will make anyone strong like bull.
I ride through some of the most beautiful mountains in existence all day. I ended up taking a sweet picture of this moth.
Thanks for checkin' it out.
