the hamster wheel...

Do you ever wonder where weeks and days go....it feels like you wake up and you are doing so much, but not really getting anything done or going anywhere. Lately that is how I have felt....i wake up my days are full, but not much of any note get accomplished...I am working hard, in the last two weeks I have had one day off and worked almost a 120 hrs behind a bar sling suds for the hard working folk of seattle. Oktoberfest then Hopfest...I much prefer the beer geeks of hopfest, where we replace all of our taps with IPA's, the northwest drink of choice, to the frat party that is Oktoberfest...that said on Sunday my day off I went and raced cross, the legs were just not ready for the effort, how could they be...I had fun, drank a beer mid race and finished 8th out of 30 or so, 4 of us finished within 20 seconds of one another. Craig, the energizer bunny, Ethridge put us all to shame winning easily, by over a minuete. I am signed up for Single Speed Cross Worlds in Portland again, this was one of the best times I had on a bike last year, if you can be there you should....it will not dissappoint. I should have a new sweet bike real soon...that is if everything works out and they make it to our shores sooner than later....click here for an idea. You will have to scroll down to see the goods...it looks to be one amazing cross season, we have so much planned, now we need everything to fall in to place. I hope to be headed to this or this or both in the upcoming weeks, although it will probably be one or the other, that is a lot of traveling to Oregon to ride my bike, travel to ride, burn petro to ride always seems a bit odd, but necessary... Maybe I could take the train to one....but fitting everything in with the new job and all the other commitments I have isn't going to be easy....one is better than none....I must go run errands and then head to work...as always keep pedaling.....
