Slave to the Grind

Written on May 27, 2008. Written by The Rev.

After weeks of painting, flooring, cleaning, boxing, swearing, bleeding, spilling beer, grunting, and being more grouchy than normal I have completed the relocation of TCOTBR world headquarters to a new fortified underground bunker in the West Utah Desert. This means I can get back on the bike on a regular basis. The last few weeks riding has mostly been a few quick jaunts while waitiing for something to dry. The Rev is slow and barely able to push The Big Ring!

I have been think though that I may be on to something. Usually my late winter/early spring is spent grinding out base miles in terrible weather or worse on a trainer. Now with my late start I can tick of the miles in shorts and a jersey. Shoe covers and thermal tights? No need. My master plan will have me lean, mean, and full of steam for ‘cross. A bit of MTB racing (1st trip to Downieville this year!) and a few short stage races on the road and I should be good. More riding will make for a happy Rev (and more importantly a happy soon to be Mrs Big Ring)

    Soon to be Mrs. Big Ring?
    I checked out Ms. Cieslewicz’s blog and she’s a major beauty. Does she know of your plans? A lot of guys could have similar dreams. Maybe we should let her know there is a possible stalker out there.
    Of course, being a cyclist living life in the big ring, you would be quite a catch. Good luck.

    Ha, yeah she knows and so far has not fled the country…
    She is the only girl who yells at me for not riding enough, I knew I had to lock that down.
