january 1st. just got back from riding the monument, and i feel great. i only rode a total distance of 24 km, about 15 miles, but a good half of that was climbing up 8% grades. i felt strong today, i didn't think i was gonna make it, but my legs kept pumping, the wheels kept turning, and at the halfway point up the climb i knew i was gonna make it. instead of stopping at the top as i usually do, i just kept on pedaling, kept on climbing, rode for another km or two. i could have kept going, did the whole thing, but i had really just wanted to do the first steep climb, and i felt like turning around and coming home, so i did. my legs weren't tired, my lungs weren't tired, i felt great, i just, for some reason, felt like going home.
the descent was pretty good, i made some turns faster than i had before, i was off my brakes for a good portion, the bike felt good under me. it was a beautiful day and i had a great ride, a great way to start off the year.
today, i went to get food for dinner, and there was a leg of lamb on sale, from $50 down to $22, so i snatched that up quick and tonight i shall roast a leg of lamb. i feel rich. life is good. i think this year is gonna kick ass.
