So the sharp eyed among you have noticed "all the clapped out dually bike love lately?"
Life does indeed go in cycles (new is old , no I ain't no psycho) though a more honest reason would be: recovery.
This video has made the rounds, but in case you missed it (or Love it) check it out...
Paris Roubaix 2011.
See those quivering biceps? That's a whole lotta shaking going on. That amount of shaking is hard on the recovery. Full suspension takes most of that right out the equation.
Last week's Henry Coe expedition left my left hip flexors and psoas in some serious distress. You can't teach me, but I can learn anew what I relearn every time I spend some time riding full squish- that I feel so unexpectedly (to me) fresh the next day. Spending most of your time riding around completely rigid, you tend to forget the difference as you take that shaking for given.No wonder I feels so great. Of course, there's all this Spring welling up and blooming around and that helps too.
On the one hand, I need to get my act together vis a vis the taking of Public Transit to Santa Cruz or Big Sur to ride. It would extend my range so much.
On the other hand (and I quote):
A new route for the 2011 Amgen Tour of California Stage 5 from Seaside to Paso Robles has been released in light of the rock slide on Highway 1.This stage was originally supposed to send the cyclists down Highway 1, but the Alder Creek slide near the San Luis Obispo County line necessitated the change.Cyclists will depart Seaside via Canyon del Rey then travel onto Highway 68. They will then turn on Laureles Grade Road and take it over the hill to Carmel Valley Road. The ride will then continue down Arroyo Seco Road.The new route will take the cyclists through Greenfield, then to the east of Highway 101 and south to King City. The riders will then ride on Highway 101 (El Camino Real) to San Lucas, where they will head toward Lockwood and continue past Lake San Antonio and Lake Naciemento into Paso Robles.
Sweet! Now we can head over there, watch them PROS suffer, and get some bike camping in there, too...who's in?
On the otherer hand, people be doing this...

Basket. Our door. I'm happy it's being used.
Yep. That is a door which opened wide. I'm happy it's being used, too.
First thing I thought of when I read the reroute today is that those people in that one house are going to LOVE having all of those people, vehicles, and helicopters around.
(you know, the one you can smell the weed from the road and has 18 billion loud barking dogs in cages)
Rats. I just realized we'll be out of town for a wedding.
