RACING

I love pushing myself to the limit getting tunnel vision so far past hurt it dont even matter anymore all your worried about is crossing that finish line first.When you break thru the wall and get a high better than any drug could ever achieve.The trash talking during a group ride or before a race.Its a feeling only those who have been there understand.Last year it happened tp me at the race at carvins cove.I was far past gone towards the end but once i got out front all that was on my mind was to put as much time on the competition as i could.I was slobbering,snot flying out of my nose.Hell i may have pissed my pants!But iwas so high at that point that it didnt matter there was no pain.And im craving that feeling like a meth head in a candy store.I was into drag racing before the cycling i ran a 80 pontiac running a detuned blown alcohol boat motor pushing 1800 horsepower in the 1/8 mile.Running low 5s spinning.And it didnt give me the same feeling.Funny how something as simple as a bike can give you that.Im feeling stronger this year than ever.

Saturday Ride

Rode Dragons Back Saturday with Chris and Skip.It was nice to get outside.It amazes me how sustainable a trail like dragons back is when it receives little to know maintenance. Anyway broke my rear derailler one and a half hours in,so had to shorten the chain and make it a ss for the ride out.
