daily ramblings

nothing very interesting to talk about this week other than work.I was sent to the Hyatt Hotel in Mpls on thursday and gota good upperbody workout.We were demoing out the locker rooms stripping all the tile off the floor and walls.Everything was tile,sauna,steamroom,showers,jacuzzi,and bathrooms.In both mens and womens.Here's the kicker though, the elevator doesn't go up to the locker rooms so we fill up 55 gallon bins to a manageable wieght(we weighed one at 140lbs)and carry them down 2 flights of stairs to another cart.All day up and down,up and down.Then on friday I had to go to Center point energy and started at 5am.I laid base all day and didn't get out of there untill 6pm.13hrs on your knees hurts.I only had a 15min break and a 1/2 hr lunch the whole day.
Today Me and Sam met up with Chris,Berry,and Dave out at Mammoth.Very nice conditions with the temps in the mid 40's.Chris could't resist but to hammer a few sections and let the body know what it's like to be in the red zone.Dave had a new bike and outfit to match.He built up a nice full sus. Gary Fisher.He was having fun since he mainly raced his single speed or the rigid bike this year.
I signed myself and Sam up for a trip here for next summer.If I miss a race or two so be it.this could be a once in a lifetime opportunity.One of the days we will be staying here.Silver Cycling is putting it on and there will be 10 riders with 6 support crew.Our lodging will be in a stone cottage at the base of the Col de Tourmalet.I can't wait to do some classic climbs.Epic for sure
