Let me start by saying I will NEVER again race a race like Syllamo on a fully rigid bike. In fact after the race I vowed never to ride a rigid bike again ever, period. Let me start by saying that for some reason someone told me not long ago that Syllamo wasn't near as hard as Ouachita. That person was a little mistaken. Syllamo's Revenge made Ouachita feel like child's play. Don't get me wrong, Ouachita was a challenge, but this was the hardest race, hardest ride, hardest effort I've ever put out in my entire life... Syllamo's Revenge went down with a bang in 08, and I absolutely can't wait till next year.

This is not about me being sick...although it could be. I have felt like a cave man lately (living in my cave-like dark bedroom while being sick). This is more about a state of mind.
Since I have been sick lately, and off the bike, I have engaged in oral bicycling a lot lately....that is talking to others about cycling in attempt to supplant my lust to ride for real. Unfortunately, many online discussions so rapidly downward spiral into animosity, or name-calling.
