Riding, racing, and living (if you can call this a life) in New Orleans. "Bike racing is art. Art is driven by passion, by emotions, by unknown thoughts. The blood that pumps through my veins is stirred by emotion. It's the same for every athlete. And that's why we do this." - Chris Carmichael

Just One of Those Days
There was a big group for the levee ride this morning. For some reason, I was struggling the whole time. Granted, all the big dogs were out and it was fast. I guess I just wasn't really up to it today. I survived the ride, though, only to have a near-death experience an hour later on my way to work when a police car came flying through a red light at Tulane and Broad just as I was starting across. This wasn't just coasting through the intersection as the light changed. This was going around the cars that were stopping for the light and blatantly running the red light at 45 mph. I had to hit the brakes and put a foot down. Right in front of the criminal court building, no less. The air today is hazy and everyone's head seems to be foggy. We're all anticipating a cold front that is moving this way and is expected to bring us some nice Fall weather for the weekend.
