Suck it up

Sunday found me on my road bike, heading out Dry Creek to Veeder. It was like 70 degrees, perfect out and I needed a ride (especially after looking at cool bikes all day Saturday).

I stuffed myself into my new Retrotec jersey and headed out...

Here's some pics:

Numbers don't lie. I don't even know how I managed 5mph here, as I was laboriously moving along at a brisk 3.5—4 mph. It's a painful little stretch right at the beginning of Veeder (from Dry Creek)—I rationalize it out that it's 7-10 minutes of pain follwed by 30 minutes of pleasure.


The road is great, no cars today!



My attempt at a Steve Tam-style self portrait. Cari is still laughing at the 8 rejects I will never show in public. I never knew I could make such horrible faces...


Suck it up! Ah yeah, little self portrait with the gut all sucked up. Top of Veeder, before descent. I gotta lose some pounds.
