It is raining, my legs are still VERY heavy from this past weekend and my iPod is dead. Three reasons going to the bar sounds better than my workout today. Some time ago I left my iPod in my jersey pocket and it got washed. Needless to say it didn’t survive the spin cycle. I didn’t think I would miss it, but days like today, make me realize I need to replace it. A few hours in the cold rain would be much easier with some tunes.

I added a link to Steve-O’s blog. He is a cycle-smart dude, all around nice guy and fast finisher. Also checkout Alberto Contador’s blog to understand the comments below. Not much else to report. Jiminy Peak RR is in 4 days . . . .150 km of hilly punishment.
