CX Worlds Question.....

Shout out to anyone that knows...what's my best bet to watch world's next weekend. Last year I paid $4.99 & watched the action on wcsn.

sunday

add another 50+, I'm cooked...

day before sunday ride

Coach, Darin, Paul, Mark, Cornbread & myself had a gravel adventure today. Below is somewhere between Lincoln & Valpo & back again. New territory for me North of Raymond, big rollers & a pretty stiff headwind. Ended up with 60+, not bad. Good company.

Saturday beard follow-up

I thought it looked great. We (me & the Saturday beard) made it through to Monday morning but not without some negative Saturday beard energy thrown in here & there. So Monday morn I shave off the mustache & leave a real nice base for a sweet looking goatee. Got mixed reviews at work & at home that night I was greeted with "I thought you were getting rid of that Saturday beard!" Holly was referring to it as the Saturday beard because that's how I sold it to her in the first place.
The facial hair rules have been established...a full beard is tolerable or should I say tolerated. I've always referred to my full beard as seasonal, cross season. What I call a Van Dyke is also tolerated, this is goatee & mustache, but connected. No north & south, one cohesive unit. What am I sporting right now? The soul patch. Tried & true, easy to maintain, understated. A splash of hair under the lower lip, a tuft if you will. Some refer to it as the "flavor savor" but that's an insult to this simple, proud statement. Soul patch gives it some attitude, style.

Anyway...enough about my beard.

I signed up for the Dirty Kanza. I better start training.

Later,

Saturday Beard

Its Saturday and its cold, so I rolled out the Balbo. You have to come up with some reason(s) to justify to your wife that your going to rock a moustache. If you don't see me this weekend, this is probably all you'll ever see of it...or is it?

The plan was to head out at 8:00am from D Street. That was the plan. With windchills at or below zero, I didn't make it. I guarantee there were some that did though. Nails.

I waited until it warmed up at noon. 20 degrees & NW wind blowing when I rolled out to collect Craig at his. In our favor...we had full sun. 3+ hours of gravel goodness. Pit stop at Conestoga to snap a few pix & check out the frozen lake, North towards Malcolm, & home. 25 degrees when I got home, balmy. Good day.
See you out there tomorrow. Later, TK

hopping the barriers...always a crowd pleaser

nat ross above & t-brown below from my Boulder Cup collection. That beard is money.

winter meltdown...you had to be there

This is what my day looked like. At this point I didn't have glasses on because of the mist, but this is also what everything looked like when I had my glasses on because they were covered with the previously mentioned mist.

Mopac is rideable?

4+ hours of mopac & gravel. I'm out of cold weather gravel shape. I can fix that...just ride more cold weather gravel. Great ride today, I'm shelled. Good crew, good times.
