You know you are getting stronger when.......
- Beecher wakes you up
- Salty has heart
- The Tour starts...and your drug free
- Your staying out of the grannie with 2 miles left on Mt. Hamilton
- nobody passes you on Mt. Hamilton
- your passing people on Mt. Hamilton
- Fly's don't land on you
- You fly past the rest stops from your last ride
- you still have ice in your bottle on the top
- you can't wait to do it again...
These are just little victories....but I will take them after a week of training. This week I will go hard since I will be traveling the next week. I might even do Mt. Hamilton again on Tuesday. I am going to get to the bike store in a few to look at some new wheels. On the way down today my rear tire exploded. Scared the SHIZ out of me going 25 mph. I thought I was a gonner. Luckily I lived.
Anyway, Next Saturday I leave for Europe. I am doing a tour of the UK, Ireland and Germany. After the trip I am going to try and take a night train to Montelimar to catch stage 14 of the tour. I hope I can find a seat on the train. We will see. Just more mental juice for the HHH. It will also be good to see Oma and Family. It has been 7 years.

Tires exploding mean only a couple of things (following the list theme):
- alien lasers
- sharp rocks
- excessive tire strain
- last nights dinner
- methane abuse
Good thing you are still with us. You'd never hear the end of it if you didn't show up for the HHH, regardless of the excuse.
Boom...bbbbb....bbbbbbb! the worst noise one will ever hear. I am glad you rolled on. I would hate for a tire to take my glory! Maybe too much junk in the trunk. If you must roll with junk in the trunk...than I recommend a trunk monkey. Thier the bomb!
