Today…… ZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz……..

Let’s recap yesterday’s failfest for me….. I rode. A LOT. I suffered. A LOT.   I got home and ate. A LOT. I woke up this morning and felt amazing, well rested and on top of the world!

We got up this morning, and it was a little sunny… but chilly at the beach. Regular morning routine…. eat, chill, wipe down the bike. By the time we got out the door, it was looking mighty dark and cloudy….. 2km down the road, we started to get sprinkled on. *craptastic*

Back we go. I pick up my wallet and we head to Blockbuster.

FAIL.

Nothing worthwhile in there to rent. The only movie I thought would be good enough to pass the time was already rented.

*screw it*

we ride.

Off we go to the last cross race in Southern California. Got there as the 3/4 race was finishing up. Stuck around and saw a few friends. One girl screamed at me “OMG, Where did you get that jersey!!!!!” (referring to last years team kit) Who knew Canadians would be so popular way down here.

Back to race highlights…. The elite field was a whopping 7 guys. The race paid down to 8th place. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH. Matteo and I agreed that by the guys who were racing in the S1 field…. I should have had no worse than 3rd place. Poop. I could have used the cashola, and the experience! What a fast course. Man, if these conditions were all we had at home…. things would be ugly. HARD packed, sand… power power power course. Right up my alley.

Alas, we only watched.

elite field.

^ this single speed guy owned his race. He hopped this first barrier and made his gap….. and just opened it up all the way through most of the Elite field who started 1 minute ahead of him! Good rider. Awesome technical skills.

We started our way back to the beach. It was only 12 degrees out. Stopped for a quick ultra hot Starbucks and hit the road again. Our anti-rain dance worked!

Along the beach, on the way home from one of our walks we saw this:

elle oh elle.    Can you imagine driving that monstrosity? OMG. And yes, that says… “Do or do not, there is no try” on the rear doors. BWAAHAHAHAHHAAHHAAHHAHAHAH!!!!

Followed up the day with more Smashball. Good Thai food and another 30 youtube’s of TopGear.

Some bike pr0n:

It’s profile is so knife edged, it cuts without drawing any blood. Loves it.

That’s it for today. Rain tomorrow…. no clue what to do with ourselves…. we’ll play it by ear.
