I GOT NO FIRE IN MY BELLY
THE FIRE TO CRUSH IT TOMORROW is out. Just a pile of ashes with some lingering smoke. It was a hot one for sure, starting small and burning a searing blaze for months...
... it was fun while it lasted.
No doubt, when I wake up and see 800 maniacs toe the line for the Nosco Ride...
... the embers will flare up for a bit.
That's not important.
What's important is to realize now is the time to merely think about how good that fire was, relive the memories.
In the coming weeks, I'll start to gather kindling...
... by laying base miles while riding aimlessly.
Once kindling is collected, I'll gather smaller logs to stack on top, creating a wide base on which to build...
... by doing fast group rides and a few 'C' races.
As I get closer to the 'A' races next Spring, the big logs will be added...
... by rocking the hardest group rides, and a few 'B' races.
With that powerful pyramid stacked solidly high, I'll add newspaper and gasoline...
... by tapering.
The day before the 'A' race, I'll grab the torch and aim it towards my massive bonfire in waiting...
... by doing some righteous openers.
Come morning...
... I'll blaze that first 'A' race course.
For now though, it's time to enjoy the memories...
... and let the remaining embers flare up from time to time.
