40 days and 40 nights

Giro D'kota Tek #1:
Got into a 6-rider break and was able to hold on to win the final kick and up the streak to eight. Dig that.

In the "why would you ever do this" category: P-cakes, T, E-rock, and I were out for a warmup ride when I noticed one of these is not like the other. P-cakes decided that he would pin his number on the left side of his jersey. Now, it was one of the best pin jobs I've ever seen, I was quite impressed. But for this night of roundy rounds proper placement of the number was on the right side of the jersey. As we were riding along, P-cakes finds it necessary to proceed to take his helmet off followed by his jersey, unpin his number, then repin the damn thing on the correct side, and for a grand finally put damn jersey back on. All while riding mind you. That Pat, quite the trickster.

40 fast approaching days left.

Race Categories:

(From the newest member of the PureJenius.net staff (who, by the way, is paid >well So I've been perusing the MCF board tonight and I still can't believe how many guys are whining about the races and race categories that promoters choose for races. I'm pretty good at whining too, so here goes: I'm a 35+ Cat 3 woman who will show up for the St. Cloud Crit and have to toe the line with Cat 1/2 guys - I don't give a shit that they're 50+, their license still says Cat 1 or 2 (and 3/4/5) and they race like Cat 1/2s. What's that you say, it's a ROY race, so we'll be scored separately? Okay cool, then I'll completely overlook the fact that the race will blow apart on about lap 1.5 and I'll spend the remainder of the race with 3 or 4 other women if I'm lucky or I'll assume the time trial position and ride around in circles by myself. Should be fun. Oh, I should shut my trap because if I think the 50+ guys are too fast and furious, I s...

Back Again

 Running up hill on sand is tough, a lot of effort with little gains. That is what this past year has felt like. While I feel I have my ADHD somewhat under control, I still struggle with depression, impulsiveness, and emotional fluctuations.  I also stopped therapy. I thought for a while that I was okay and could handle life but only to find that I still need help. I’ll be meeting with a new therapist later this week and am hopeful for a fresh perspective and is someone who will hold me accountable. I feel like my last therapist was the start I needed. I was lost in how and where and what to work on. I feel I was able to get things in motion and found some direction. I confused those first few steps with being well on my way to recovery.  I’m bummed that it took me a year to gain that perspective because if I stuck with it I would actually further along in my recovery. I don’t resent or feel guilt for falling back into old routines. I would only feel guilty if I didn’t tr...
