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

It Was Fast
By the time we hit Williams Blvd. the speed had been holding steady at 29-30 mph for a while, although the number of riders still in the rotation was starting to dwindle. We had a big group for today's training ride and it was a fast one. Staying in the paceline was one thing, matching the long fast pulls of some of the guys at the front was quite another. As usual, the group got carried away with the light tailwind it had on the way out, and also as usual some of its riders paid for it on the way back. Anyway, it was a good fast training ride and so I definitely got in a workout. I just wish some of these guys would learn to take it easy when they blast past unsuspecting pedestrians because eventually these rides are going to get legislated out of existence. Long day. I'm tired...........
