So EPIC!

First foray into this blogging biznazz. A bit of an intro - I'm a grad student trying to see how far I can go in cycling. Most of what you'll read will have no particular pattern. Although I spend way too much time on the bike I also attract very unique life experiences. I'll be heading off to race for a Spanish cycling team this summer so that will be the main thing I'll be focusing on this summer.

Anyway, as the title says, today was a fairly epic ride. Went out with a few of the guys on the team for what should have been a century ride. Eric, Chris, Jim, and Derek were all ready to battle the wind. We ended up riding into the wind it seemed 70% of the day at least. In the end Derek and I rode back, I had to do a loop around campus to make it to an honest century but ended up going over.

Tonight I ended up carb-loading for the next week by having Korean BBQ along with a dangerously spicy soup and watched paper cups not melt or catch fire in a fire that was definitely hot. Also decided that Will's legs were really comfy so 2 people used his legs as chairs for a pretty sweet photo-op. Too tired to do any core workouts tonight, I think I'll call it a night pretty soon.
