Things I like

Today I will start a new thing on this blog, I'll be doing a running list of "things that I like"on a certain topic. Today I'll start with things related to cycling (feel free to add anything)..

1. Wearing new bibs on a 4 hr training ride
2. Flying down Fox lake road after climbing that Fucker!!! (this only applies to a select few)
3. Riding PLRA at night with lights in the fall or better yet in the winter when it is snowing. There is nothing cooler than a HID lighting system reflecting off of the falling snow
4. Eating those tiny donuts and drinking cider after a cx race
5. Hanging out after the Iceman(drinking a cold one) and watching the Simonster killing them as they cross Williamsburg road.
6. A fork that works well
7. Running a new set of tires (always makes the trail feel more cushy)
8. The idea of trying a new 29er (hopefully either a Fisher superfly or the new Specialized)
9. Riding with Cathy....she is just that hilarious
10. The idea that even a bad day on the bike beats the best day at work.


Things I don't like about cycling
1. Changing in my car before going out on a winter ride.
2. The gastric distress caused by drinking to much apple cider
3. Dealing with certain people at Iceman after they have had to much to drink
4. Chaffing in the nether regions
5. Back pain


That's about all for now...Keep on checking back for more updates...TC
