This completes another week of no riding. I couldn't bring myself to let that happen again so got on the trainer tonight for a half hour. I didn't go hard. Resistance was rather light and did just enough let the legs know they worked a little. Maybe they will be good for George Winter tomorrow.

Unless Scott has found an obscure rise in the terrain there, this should be a really flat course and thus potentially fast. His description mentioned an off-camber turn so there must a little bit of elevation change. Apparently we are having a pavement start like 'cross races should. I like to see that, even though its often not possible. He also mentioned a couple gravel sections. I'm not fond of gravel on race courses but again it seems to be a common part of local parks so we get stuck with it at times.

Viewpoint: Most money spent on cycling... Who else but Justin? Let me see how much of his purchased bike porn that I can remember. A carbon Scott road frame/bike, a Scott TT frame, a Cannondale road frame/bike, two sets of Lightweight brand carbon wheels, one set of used Reynolds Stratus wheels, a set of $90/each carbon cages and another set of the same cages for $55 each, Look Keo pedals, Zero Gravity brakes, a pair of shiny silver Carnac shoes and most recently a new set of AX lightness Clavicula(?) cranks. My hunch is there is another five high zoot items that are unknown to me. Total dollars spent...... 1 million dollars!!! More power to you, bud. Enjoy yourself.
