Tuff Ride Tuesdays

April 14th, 2008 | Posted by Smithers at 5:27 pm in Local Cycling |

Starts tomorrow.

I’m nervous. But I have done a bit of training and I’ll have my outfit all set for tomorrow afternoon so I won’t be a in a panic to get ready. I’ll eat a good dinner tonight and go to bed early to be ready for the big work out.

Maybe I’ll do a short test effort the night before to make sure that I am ready.

I may not be where I am supposed to be during the whole ride, but I will get there eventually. I’ll just take things slow and sure and make sure that I am comfortable physically and mentally. If I get scared I will stop for a minute and breath deep to relax.

I’ll wear my helmet and gloves for safety.

I’ll stop half way through and use the toilet and eat an energy bar. Maybe I’ll call for a ride home if I get lost. My GPS unit should help out.

I used this exact same routine the first time I had sex and it all worked out just fine. Good thing I had that quarter handy.

    Speaking of GPS, are there any good loop routes from Minneapolis through Wisconsin?

    I’ve done the ride a couple times, but I’m just a little shaky on the St.Paul-Lakeland connection.

    I am getting nervous before the big ride. Who is going to come out and yell? The Tuesday Night Tough Guy ride is 100times better than Opus.

    smithers,
    Training tip #34
    You forgot the white shoes. Pedaling really hard with white shoes makes you go super fast.

    Who is going to come out and yell?

    Matt Henry will be there to yell “close that gap” and talk about his muscle warming oil. Oh, wait… no he won’t. Bummer.
