Tuesday Nooner

Another nooner with a small group. We rolled out with just three to start, and I was thinking that was gonna mean a lot of work. Alot of pulling, alot of sitting in the wind. And it was a bit windy today. Alot of cross wind was on tap as we headed north.
So, heading out to Shevlin, we picked up two guys, and one was a teammate of Matthew's... and these two guys were really eager to pull today. They were on the front alot. I mean, I would pull a bit, feel the legs turning really good, and before I knew it, one of 'em would come around me going a couple mph's faster, and I was groveling to get back on his wheel. And it went on like this all day. I never felt a moment of rest.
I felt like I was climbing well today, all things considered. No ill effects. I again tackled OB Riley and Archie Briggs, instead of coming back through Shevlin. I need to ride Briggs so often because it will be so crucial during the CSR.
Not much else to report right now... man, I'm tired. I just finished working on a bike for a friend, something I had been putting off for a long time. Yes, I was procrastinating. I hate that. But I just didn't want to start because I hate to think of all the time and effort involved, and I start to think of how it will be so much effort to get it done, and that it might not get done in less than two hours, and that I'll have a mess to clean up, and that my hands will get dirty, and that my clothes will stink, and basically all the other lame excuses one can think of. So, I think of other things I can do, and I don't start the project.
Mostly because I know that when I start a project I don't want to stop until it's done. I throw myself into, mostly because I want it to be done. For me, the flip side of procrastinating is that I'm super focused when I'm doing it.
But I need to get to bed. I'm tired.
