My ride to the kust.
It only took a little under 2 hours to get to the coast.
Found a good club for Skibby
And one for Sickboy. I am not sure what all this means but it looks "fun" maybe...

This is why I am here.
First race in Belgium. This will probably be the most detailed recap so...
I rode to the course which was only about 20min away. I found the sign in by watching the other racers. Then I had to pay for my race which after turning my number back in was 3 euro and they the paid 50 deep (without chip timing of course.) What the hell is wrong with American racing?
Before the start as we were all lined up a cop car had to get through all the racers, so I got on the back of it and moved up towards the front. We started with more then 70 dudes on the line. After about 300 meters after the start I was sitting pretty in the top 10. Then the attacks came. Go hard then slow, then go harder then slow, then brake for the corner then go really hard (even in the top ten) then go hard and brake then go hard again. This went on more then I can count in a four corner 2.5km course. At some point following wheels I was off the front in a group of 5. Who thanks to me were not working well... Haha Then after going really hard for not a long time I shot backwards like a bullet. I didn't even get to struggle at the back. Only about 15 people finished the full race. Even if you were 300 meters off the back you got yanked.
No one yelled at me but I did see the middle finger and some aggressive bike handling. Tater would do well here if he was faster. But all and all it was ok I just kept my mouth shut... I think in a few weeks I'll be able to do better. Next race is Monday then Tuesday (Tom Boonens first race back) all within 30 min riding distance from me.
Bummer, I don't think I made the betting board yet, damn 3 weeks of rest... Who the hell would put money on me anyways? Haha
I think I needed one of these in the race.
Ann-sophie got a new Vespa.

Team
Marc set me up with a team. They just came back from France last week! I think they are going to put me in some smaller races, then if I go well I will go to the big ones! I think... Haha
2nd Day
I got in after a long flight and had to drink a beer or two. Today Marc(Dad) is going to take me to the town councel to declaire that I am here, then later in the day he has been so kind to set up a meeting with a club here! I think that means I might be able to do some bigger races. I took some photos of some cool cars that were at a "old timers" drive, Ill post soon.

Opus
I made my point and then "pulled out." I was second in the first sprint and then just kept it going over the hill for some reason... I have't been riding hard since Nationals and felt "weird." After two laps recovering I was like why am I going hard again. So I pulled out. I saw my highest HR in years at 198 and my legs feel rested. I was kinda angry for pulling out but I had beer and hanging out with friends on my mind more then I did the race. It was fun seeing everyone. I ended up 8th... Not to bad for only 3 laps of racing and 2 recovering, lame...

I should post something.
I woke up with a headache, school is done, I think I passed all my classes, I'll be in Belgium in a week, I want to keep those cute little cats, I can't wait for Opus and I haven't seen my family since Turkey Day.

After Opus will be a good time to go and get some drinks.

RIP...
my little Hood Rat girl.
Against all odds the Eastside brought us together and the Eastside has taking her away. She will be missed greatly.

Nationals
Went ok... I made it over the first climbs with the leaders and even passed Todd, but proceeded to get dropped on the descent... Something about not being able to see right or being able to hold on the bars. Todd passed me a few miles down the road and made it back up to the front. 2 other dudes and I kept the front group at 30 seconds for a lap, but we never put in an all or nothing chase... Stupid. I finished 49 which is a lot better then last year. Jason and Todd made the front and Todd got 16th and Jason 20th. I didn't get to do the crit... Jason was off the front a couple times, that's about it.

In a few weeks I'll be in the holy land and I feel great.

Opus is on my calender next week.

Masturbation is very safe -- but not entirely safe.
Webmd...
"Unlike sex with a partner, masturbation can't give you a sexually transmitted disease. Nor will it subject you to the muscle strains, pokes in the eye, and awkward moments that can come with partner sex. But masturbation safety isn't guaranteed. "Masturbation is just about the safest sex there is," says Cornog. "But the laws of physics and biology don't stop operating just because someone is masturbating."
Frequent or overly vigorous masturbation can irritate the skin of the penis, as the average guy knows all too well. Less well known is that habitually masturbating face down -- for example, by thrusting against a sheet, pillow, or even a carpeted floor -- can injure the urethra in such a way that urine exits the penis not in a stream but in a hard-to-control spray. Barbara Bartlik, MD, a psychiatrist and sex therapist in New York City, says she's seen facedown masturbators with urethral trauma so severe that they are no longer able to use a urinal and must urinate while seated.
In certain extremely rare instances, masturbation and partner sex alike can cause penile fracture. This painful condition -- actually a tear in the tunica albuginea, the whitish tissue surrounding the penis's spongy layers -- occurs when an erect penis strikes a hard object or is forced downward. A medical emergency, it often necessitates surgery."
