Um, possibly of use for that pro cyclist on the go…

This guy cooks better in a hotel room than I do at home.

In other news, I won the MTB race I mentioned a week or so ago up in Flag.  I got a super sweet trophy to boot!

Well, Hayduke likes it anyhow.

I was soooo much fun to race my mountain bike, and you can be sure that I will devote more time to mountain bike racing next year.  I’m even thinking of giving it a go to try to get into Leadville.

But at the moment, I’m pretty much all talk.  Like talking about writing my thesis and such.  I was writing it, up until a minute ago, when I stopped to write this post and watch videos about cooking in hotel rooms…50 pages down.  Ugh.

Up next, well the AZ State Team Time Trial is this weekend, and then, I’m done.  Yes, I am stopping…riding my bike that is.  Just for a month, so I can work on correcting my screwed up back, which is a product of the knee surgery I had last fall.  Apparently major muscle atrophy and subsequent road racing for 8-odd months isn’t so good for the pelvis and lower back on the previously non-injured side of the body.  But Hightower hooked me up with a new massage therapist who is supposedly working wonders for his SI issues, so with some time off and some hard work, I’ll be good as new.

So that’s all for now.  Enjoy your hotel-cooked meals.
