This is what I do on Saturday Morning...

Ok I'm warped I'm just content working and listening to the soothing sounds of larry's pedally on my computer in the background..

I think I should retire and just build a track like that for bikers.

Larry. What are you doing man?

It's summer in your neck of the woods, and you're still riding in the dark. Don't you ever sleep?

My excuse for riding in the dark is that it's winter here. Still, being out when the sun is coming up is magic.

I was thinking recently that it must be boring going round and round in circles on a velodrome. And then last Saturday I did 100 minutes of my ride at AeT on an out and back 16km flat course. Out and back, out and back, etc. And I enjoyed it! Now I'm thinking you've got a cool set-up there.

Kind regards... Blair

He's an IT guy no such thing as a sleep schedule. they beat that out of you year 2 of the job.

The real truth is, I usually have so much to do on Saturday, (I have a cushy IT job, in that I only work M-F),
that I need to be back home by about 10:30 at the latest, so if I want to get a 4-hour ride in, I have to start at 6am!
But yes, I do sleep less than most.
Hardly ever to bed or asleep before 11pm, back up around 5 for my workout, then off to work.
I do usually rest on Sunday and "sleep in" till around 6 or even 6:30 sometimes!

Larry we would say dedication keen discipline committed but our wive's would say obsession nutter fruitloop.

so perhaps it sits in the middle somewhere. i will take a healthy obsession over being unhealthy any day of the week.

i hear that too much sleep is bad for you anyway....... lets ask ratz.

in the meantime keep on enjoying the dawn. i get to watch it on my way to work every day but i would rather be cruzbiking. riding in the evening is great too but you cant beat the still dawn and start of a new day.

back to the grindstone.......

I only sleep if I need to ride faster than someone else the next day. Around these parts that means the V makes slept irrelevant.

Mr. Oslund said a magic word:
"Kayak."

I used to commute to work in my homebuilt sea kayak.
Now, living miles away from water, I'm stuck with pedaling Cruzbikes rather than paddling 'yaks.
Poor me.

Kayak, Vendetta, private velodrome, what a paradise!

Yes, I live a blessed life - no doubt - best of all - Married to a wonderful/great/fantastic/etc... woman (Gayle) - who supports me and lets me chance after my dreams - It will be 35 years on the 30th of August.
Time flies.....

 

[Cruzbiker]

Brave man! Riding in the dark with no lights ...

Yes but make that a Kayak park with inverted gravity flow so you can do white water while remaining stationary. They have one of those on the river over in Wisconsin near us. Totally cool, and it's one heck of a workout.
