IRONICALLY ENOUGH....

On the eve of the day that the Americans, in particular Katie Compton will be charging for a World Championship, I decided to get on the program for the upcoming season. Which sadly means this, no more M&Ms by the pound full, no more huge bowls of double vanilla ice cream and no more GINSERS, (well maybe after hard training efforts I can sneak a ginser), it's been a great six weeks of eating massive piles of shit, but the party must end.
The roads are clear in Eagle for the most part, and there is just enough snow and ice on the sidewalks to make it a fun ride on the CX bike to prepare for CultCross. With temps forecast for the 40's all week it's time. To hell with the trainer when I can get some fresh air and ride.
And then there is this gemJimi Mortenson of Eagle posted a bunch of really sweet pictures on Facebook today that I scrolled through, alot of sweet pics from one of his many RAAM team victorys, including some great shots of Mike J. This however was the one I poached as Jimi (I think it's Jimi) gets just a scosh of air in the East Vail chutes area. Rumor has it that Jimi is coming back to pro racing this year after his bullshit two year suspension for missing a pee party. I hope he comes back with a vengeance as the guy is just plain and simply one of the most talented riders in the country. Jimi Tagging MJ during a winning RAAM effort
