Its December and as I have said before I cant wait for this year to be over. After last weekends follies I had an unprecedented rash of flats last week training. In 4days of training I had 5 flats. With my limited training schedule in the morning one flat is bad but two is a death blow. Twice I was forced to head home and finish my ride on the trainer. On Friday morning I came out sat on the couch looked at my bike and the front tire was flat. Sometimes I think the Cycling Gods are testing me. This was a recovery week for Robyn so we didn't go out to the burbs to do hills. Not wanting to do 4 hrs by my self I did the Yale ride. Bad fucking move!!! If you put Guido, Hacker,a few other wing nuts together and then throw in Steve Grey what do you get? If you guest a steal cage penis death match, you are correct. I met up with E, Jelle and the Squirrel at 8 and we rode out to meet the S&S boys. Upon are arrival I was told the our old pal Krusty the Crowell was being trained by Ed A and could only ride in zone 2-4. I have three problems with this.
1)Crowell has no self control.
2)The wing nut doesn't have a heart rate monitor.
3)Crowell has no self control.

My legs were cooked from Saturdays cock off so I was hoping that the ride would be easy. When the ride started it was nice and easy but E and I were going to test Krusty. We kept letting groups of guys go up the road to test the will of Krusty. He was calm for a while but a group of guys MtBman, Dennis,an on form Greg Cocci and someone else I cant remember sorry were way up the road. At the turn around Todd and Thomas went for a flyer. Krusty cracked and went after Todd he can handle anyone but his teammate going up the road. Ed I would say that was over ZONE 4. The break was in site and the wind was in our faces now. I was cooking with my hat on under my helmet so at the light at Lowes I took it off but the light changed and I didn't have my glove back on yet. I held it in my hand and waited until the light at the short cut. Also my helmet wasn't clipped. At the light I put on my glove but I couldn't clip my helmet and had to take my glove back off. The light changed the pack went then I dropped my glove FUCK! With the wind and the break in the fields face the pace picked up and I was 30 seconds down. I fucken chased until the green houses before I caught on. (Ed I think that was over ZONE 4) Just as I caught on another break went and Kioski was in it so the field went easy and Zanes didn't need to chase. Thank God. I am very happy to put this week behind me.
