Short Track Time #2
Race Dos of the 2009 Short Track Series in the books. It seemed to be a bit warmer this week, or maybe it was the fact my body wasn't fighting off some cold/flu/nastiness. I did my best to venture into the woods this week and cheer, take photos and roll around in the leaves. The walking and woods added to my warmth I believe. Doing my fair share of cheering for my team and hopefully encouraging those on the long grind up.

One of the more enjoyable moments was watching the single speed class adorned with Team Dicky. Watching the Sir Dick bang his head against his handlebars as he rode around in circles with this look of pain and Gollum look on his face. "My precious moots, oh my precious..." Could be heard through the woods if you listened closely. Yes Sir Dick was infact loosing his mind as he chased behind the leaders. Even the doubled up sleeveless jerseys couldn't keep this cold heart warm.
After being motivated by a bunch of single speed riders yesterday I rode my fixie to the bus for the first time since making the switch back to fixed. Quickly I remembered why for the longest time I only owned a Bianchi Pista. The rhythm and response of a fixed gear is hard to explain but a beauty when you part of it. Now I'm looking forward to my commute home tonight to get back on the bike!
