the work is very fun right now. great ride to work early in the am and then a more tolerable day than yesterday, no real issues, i was just in a bad place for a bit. the bike always helps, solitary spinning is that it? being alone with your thoughts is very good, they can all fall together like a perfect game of tetris, the pieces all odd shaped but then you see the pattern emerge and it all comes into view, you know what the next piece will be and you already have a place ready for it. i got a quick ride home for a two hour block on the rollers, two videos, the first was the finish of the 1999 ghent-wevelgem, peters and museew laying down a hell of a pace until tom steels came through in the last 150 meters to take the win, amazing teamwork having two of the best riders in the world throwing down for you for 30 kilometers you better pull of a win. the last 15 k nobody was able to come through, no attacks b/c they couldn't! the second race was 1999 fleche-wallone, bartoli put out some hate from around 60 kilometers out, dropping the then-world champion camenzind on a snowy moor in belgium, do they have moors in belgium? the last time up the mur de huy with den bakker bartoli just dumps him when they get to the 23% section, that's almost 1 in 4, magnolia or fillmore street in san fran in the rain/snow!
