Going Pro.

Two of my CyclingCenter Teammates have signed pro contracts for the coming season.

Corey Steinbrecher (Jelly Belly)

Austin King (Jittery Joes)

Congrats guys!!

Training to Train.

Lately I have had a hard time getting myself to ride. Although I still end up riding 5-6 days a week, it feels like a struggle every time I go out. This is especially true when I go alone. I am not sure if it is the job, life style change, weather, burn out, sleeping habits, a combination of everything or something else. I still love riding and once I am dressed and out the door I am fine. It seems that I am lacking the catalyst to push me out on to the road. If anyone has any insights or experiences that would be helpfull.

Thanksgiving Feast.

If it hasn’t been apparent by now, my cat is insane. I went home to Murphysboro, IL for Thanksgiving with the parents today. Thinking my cat might run a rampage through my apartment I gave him a huge bowl of food and water and locked him in the bathroom. Not to much surprise when I arrived home he ate all the food, had a feast on a roll of toliet paper and created an unbelievable stench. I have never seen so much cat shit before in my life. And it was “shit” too, it’s the only word properly describing poop that smells like that. Luckily, all the poop and pee was in the litter box and not on the floor, wall or sink.

My cat is bonkers.
