Horses scare me.
in my opinion, horse and bikes cannot coexist. those muscle laden beasts are always looking for a little trouble. scary.
fat tire is this weekend so of course i don't feel well. it's probably allergies combined with the dramatic weather change we just had, but i feel like crap. vita c and copious water will be my plan of attack in case it is a bug of some sort. hopefully i'll be feeling tip top come saturday morning.
fat tire used to be my biggest race of the year but it has become so much more than the race. the atmosphere combined with friends (and family) make this one feel more like a holiday. my first fat tire (1996)saw me show up with the old steel framed diamond back. i had a pair of bike shorts (purchased a couple days before) but a long sleeved cotton t-shirt was my choice of technical wear on top. i had worn my helmet 2 or 3 times previous to that day. i bonked hard around halfway through (i thought it was just going to be a 'bike ride'). the rest is history. this will be cftf #7 and every year i look forward to this race more than any other. wish me luck!
