I’ll put up some San Dimas S.R. post race jibber-jabber in a bit…….

The team and I are heading down to Santa Monica this afternoon to ride with a team of local juniors. It should be a good time. I hope those kids don’t try and take us to the Pain Cave…..juniors do that kind of goofy stuff you know. I know this because when I was their age, I tried to stick it to anyone or anything on two wheels. Riding with a pro team would have been one gigantic Royal Rumble for me. I would have shown up with race wheels and a pocket full of PowerGels. Honestly, after the crit yesterday and a slow, relaxing morning, I have no desire to pedal hard today.

If we find our way to the Pain Cave this afternoon, I’ll let you know who drops the flashlight first…..

Led Zeppelin and I,
originally uploaded by austinkingslife.

Back in the early 70’s, when I was just a young warthog, I was fortunate enough to get to tour with the mighty Led Zeppelin. They were in a bind and needed an experienced musician for a small but crucial role in a “Stairway to Heaven” performance. I stepped in to bravely and courageously play the cowbell, an instrument so stylish and toneful, yet far far underrated…….For nearly 8 whole minutes, I played the hell out of that cowbell, and then walked away, never to touch one again.

And a special thanks to Curtis and everyone at Missing Saddle for helping me to get this show on the road.
