Pea-Gravel Brain


There are times when I can be more than a little OCD and TransIowa seems to bring the best/worst of my penchant for leading Team Over-Analysis. One-off emails getting sent to friends, "What do you think about this? What crazy am I for considering that?" I also visited Ira Ryan's site and blog today, making my way to the photo below. That setup is pretty close to what I believe I will run (except of course for all of those gears). Btw, check out his frames. Gorgeous.
I watched a saved airing of Ronde Van Vlaanderen tonight to clear my head and it just made things worse. Maybe the answer is to focus on the goodness of Paddy's preem.

I know the feeling. I have revised and re-revised what I am wearing, not wearing, eating, not eating endlessly in the last week.

As to preems, I'm thinking about how nice it will be share in the preem that someone else will win.

actually, I have a new preem (that I plan on winning): last one to the check-in point, but on-time, wins a case of Cycles Gladiator cabernet sauvignon.

What, me worry? I haven't even recieved the frame I'm supposed to be riding at TI yet. I hope it fits snow tires, hehe ;)

I'm guessing by the time I get it all together so I can obcess over it, it will be too late. Go.

See ya next weekend.
