"A hot dog at the ballpark is better than a steak at the Ritz." --Humphrey Bogard
Certain things just go together.
Cyclists and Thanksgiving is one perfect example. Cause when you mix rail-thin, lycra-clad, calorie-incinerating athletes with a gluttonous, tryptophan-filled holiday that's strategically placed between two racing seasons you get a chance to turn your back on any "structured" training program at all. You get to take part in a guilt-free, caloric dumptruck of a weekend, one pumpkin pie at a time.
No turkey is safe - no cranberry will be left un-sauced. Bring me your stuffing, your gravy, your soufflees. If ever there was a time to cheat on your Weight Watchers points, this would be that time.
But it's never too early to start thinking about next season.
And along those lines, USA Cycling announced that the 2009 US National Mountain Bike Championships will be held in our own backyard next July. That means I'll be lining up next to (or, in my case, behind) some of the fastest mountain bike racers on the planet....
That experience of a lifetime means I've sure got my work cut out for me this winter......
I wonder what the Stunt Double is up to these days? Hmmmmmm..........
