Well this has been a great season for me. I achieved several goals I set out for this year. First I wanted to peek later in the season, unlike years past when I gradually burnt out during the last 5 or 6 races which makes finishing the season on a low note a drag. I have a few friendly nemesis that I was glad to beat fair and square and all in all very happy about a clean season with no mechanical problems and mostly no ER visits. I can't imagine racing CX right now although I'm sure later this fall I will regret dismissing CX again this year. My sites are set on relaxing and riding dirt without a number plate zipped tied to my bars. I am in the planning stage of redoing my trainer room to accommodate a few team mates and plan to upgrade to a TACX brand computrainer. I actually am looking forward to riding indoors this winter. Is that wrong? sheesh I'm ate up.

So I dream just about every night.  Last night was priceless.  And it involved cyclocross.  Picture Webgirl and me riding like nuts.  We were in an open field so most of it was flat terrain but I do remember it was rainy and dreary.  And we were in some kind of race but there were no other competitors.  Or at least they didn't start in my dream.  Were we that far ahead of everyone?  Of course we were.  Team of Two.  Hey.....it's my dream.

At one point we climbed a steel staircase with our bikes on our backs slipping and sliding every step of the way.  Then we rode across a metal grate that took us to an elevator.  Again.......my dream so work with me here.  We're on the elevator not really knowing what we'll find when the doors open.  The elevator stops, we pick up our bikes, the doors open and......wait for it.....it's a PARTY!!!  That's what I'm talking about.   All kinds of LBC people were there but we're still racing.  No time for us to chit chat.  Hold up.  There's music!  Sweet.  But it's not Five...
