The new style of 2WB. What do you think?

2-old has been at it again tweaking, tuning, and dialing in the improvements for the site. Personally, I think it is pleasing to the eye. Hope you like it to.

I can not get this song out of my head since the changeover...

I've got "Down in a Hole" from Alice in Chains playing in my head today. I don't know where that came from but it's there. I'm sure I haven't heard that song in months.

It does fit my situation though. In the last three days I've piled on over 400 TSS and driven TSB down by almost 20 points. The elastic has been stretched.

I had a peak at my upcoming calendar today and realized it's pretty full between now and the end of the month. Counting it all up, there are 2 crits and 5 separate TT's.

That set off a bit of a panic, because it was only yesterday that I began training in the TT position. I might have to race myself into being comfortable on my TT bike.

Oh but wait, can you ever be really comfortable on a TT bike?

Get a hold of this three wheel beast of a machine. I'd rock this like a mullet in the 80's. No way would you have to worry about having to many to drink when riding this bad boy.

I won't have time to watch it (see the previous post), but today's also the Tour of Flanders. I'm resolved to catching up on it afterward though. Unlike here today, race conditions are forecast to be epic - rain, snow, hail. All that nasty stuff that you and I won't ride in because we're not paid to.

It's days like this I'm content to be blessed with ordinary genes.

What an odd Easter we've had here today. The interweb weather thingy said snow was a long shot, but that by late in the morning temperatures would head up as the sun started to break through.

Not so. It's been snow showering on and off all day.

My window of opportunity for riding was in the morning. Turns out that was a good thing because if I'd waited on the weather to change for the better I'd still be waiting.

4:58pm - It just started snowing again. Hard. Weird.

What I had on my training plan today was at least a 2 hour ride. Something that would generate around 150 TSS. That's no pushover ride, but it would also leave a little in the tank for tomorrow while driving TSB well below zero.
