This weekend is shaping up to be a busy one. After taking a long vacation and finally
getting back to normal, shit is gonna get crazy.
First things first, I guess.
The Southern Spokes Bicycle Festival starts tonight, and continues
throughout the weekend. Tonight I’ll be
at First Flight
Bikes for the open house, and nosing around in the Museum of Mountain Bike Art and Technology. Since I only live
a short drive away, I’ll forgo the camping at Lake Norman State Park to sleep in my
own bed for the night. I’ll return the
next morning to the state park for a day of socializing, bike riding, and other
buffoonery. While there are also events
scheduled there for Sunday, I have something else on the calendar.
The Southern Classic Series series is back, and this
is the second to the last race. The
Sizzler in Greensboro should be fun, but I’m having a hard time
getting motivated. Last year I broke my
chain right at the start, and posted my first-ever DNF in the series. I don’t remember much of the course, except
that it was pretty slick and had a dangerous (when wet) bridge. I busted my ass on that bridge when the chain
broke, and that probably ruined my experience.
I’m giving it a go, mostly because I’ve invested so much in
the series so far. I have a chance to
medal in the overall standings when it’s all said and done, but I’m not sure if
I can hold on. I’m not feeling super
serious, especially since I just came back from a really fun “race” in Vermont .
Do you think that they will have aid stations stocked with
liquor?
Not likely.
After the race, Lunchbox (yes, he’s back in town finally) and I are heading up to Washington ,
D.C.
There’s a chance we may have to stay up there a little
longer due to a family obligation though.
I’ll be back eventually, and there should be a race report
when I return.
