Excerpt from an interview with Jens Voigt:"Sometimes you can hear your body start talking to you ... 'Oh, I can't do it anymore, I can't do it anymore,' and your mind goes 'shut up body and do what I tell you' and your body is almost like ... revolting against you and saying 'I can't do it, leave me alone, I can't do it, I want to pull over now,' and the mind goes, and the brain goes 'no, no, no, you keep going, you keep going because I want you to do what I tell you to do' and you know, your lungs are burning and you have the little taste of blood in your mouth and your legs are burning, and they don't want to turn around anymore and you know if someone now attacks you will be blown out of the water but you go 'no, I just keep going' and you just keep going and ... you make it happen.""I get paid to hurt other people. How good is that? How good is that? I get paid to make other people suffer on my wheel, that's good."
Hey cookster: congrats on the surprize arrival. Have you booked off for maternity leave? Hope your parents have room for an extra chair at their supper table. We're expecting baby pics and cigars!!!
I drove down to Hattfield Point today and biked along the Kingston Peninsula and down to Evandale. What a gorgeous, but windy, ride. I wanted to join the morning riders, but I wimped out. It was too cold!!!
Hope to see OSB before I store the bike for the year.
Smoothie, As long as the weather is clear in the morning, I'll be at MacLeans for 735.. Address is 110 Willis Street, but no rush on returning DVD, will not be needing it anytime soon..
Interesting, today was not an ideal day for cycling. 0 degrees this morning with what looked like ice on the road. This evening, cycling home, 4 degrees and 40K winds right in your face! Just the same, Donut came with me to commute to work, thanks, great to have company. On the way home, I normally don't see any cyclists (maybe one) unless it is an OSB group ride. Tonight, I saw Duncan Young out for a ride, then another dude on a whit CERVELO, cool. Shortly after another cyclist going out to Oromocto on a Cannondale (he was riding in shorts!) that makes three riders. Then, near my home I spot a touring cyclist with a rack and a pannier on his bike. So, one of the coldest, windiest days of the year and more than the normal amount of cyclists are out there getting some exercise just like it would be July, go figure! See you on the road!
Have fun guys. I am going to have to ride in the afternoon. I had thought Monica's swim meet started earlier but it starts at 10am and will be about 1.5hrs. Enjoy the morning. I'll go by myself,,,just won't be the same. Please try not to miss hauling my sorry butt up those hills
Iam on days this week but like Donut I am free for a Friday am ride weather pending. Wish I was off as I look out from the windows of the ER, it looks like a glorious day for a ride.
It is good to be back! Clean air, little traffic on the roads and good friends to ride with. Nothing in Europe could beat that. Maybe one day riding with good friends in Europe could? Smoothie, thanks for helping me to warm up them rusty legs. Marlene, I would love to ride on the weekend. Just leave the firearms in the locker!
Rat: Thanks for swinging by the office and riding with me back home. It was great to have someone to break the wind for me into today's strong headwind. Fellow OSB's should know that to come and get me at 5:00 p.m. in Oromocto, Rat took the long way via Mactaquac dam, back to F'ton via north side, Maugerville, Burton Bridge and THEN home! Total, 110K's, way to go Rat! Be sure to check the weather for Friday, could be messy! Smoothie
Rat: You'll want to ride lots now! Roads could be too icy in the morning to commute, I will take a look at 7:00. Should I call you if I'm cycling? Let me know when I can see the new bike!
Well I am just leaving work and there is alot of snow on the ground so a commute looks unlikely at least to work. The roads will be wet and icy at 0700 so I will sleep in. But weather permitting perhaps from work.
Myself, Steve Stafford and Rat are planning to head out for a ride this afternoon,(Quac Loop). Going to swing by the SS at 4 PM then meet up with Rat at the Tim Hortons on Woodstock Rd. Blog if your interested, or just be at the SS by 4..
Great to see some are still riding. Just got back from 4 dayz of swimming. Blue lips back ! Looks like the weekend is a bust. Might have to dig dem sneakers out.
Ditto Donut! A great ride that only got sunnier as we rode along. New ride in and will be at the Edge tomoorow to get it all set up, likely in the am.
Now some important stuff. I have 3 free tickets to the Classic Albums Live performance of Pink Floyds Dark Side of the Moon thursday October 29 at 8pm at the Playhouse. I am going, these seats are in the middle so great veiw. This group does a fantastice job on this album. The tickets are 1st come basis so check your schedules if you are a Floyd fan, so blog soon.
The weather is improving and I definitely want to bike this afternoon. However, I have to run up to Crabbe to my cottage this a.m. so it will not be before 3:00. Who would like to join me? I'll check the blog when I return. Distance and route tbd.
Nice ride yesterday Smoothie! Thank you for the inspiration. I don't think I would have climbed all those hills without you. Got a nice revard at the end; the sun came out!
Rat: Yes, I am going to ride tomorrow, the weather seems like it will cooperate. I leave my home at 11:30, (I will try to remember). If you are riding a little before the commute, ride by my home. If you have another suggestion call my cell 461-6943. Anyone else?
Fantastic ride back with Laszlo. How was your return ride. It was quite a commute with 3 half century riders. I got to thinking are we metric or standard half- centurions? I'll be at your place by 0730 to leave as soon as possible after.
I'm hoping to get off work a little early, if so I plan to join ya's for the commute. If I'm not at your house Mel by 0735, head out with out me as something must have came up.. Do my best!!!
are we making our final commute tommorrow, Friday am? I will be at your house for 0730. Had a great ride today. I am closing in on a magic mark for total distance for the season so am motivated to keep riding.
One last commute for the year. After this weekend with the time change it will be too dark coming home (not to mention getting colder). I am also at a "magic mark", my RS turned 4000k's today and the Super Prodigy is close to that. If anyone else is interested, tomorrow is your last chance to commute to Oromocto! Rat, see you tomorrow morning!
Stafford and I are heading out in the morning(9am SS Complex) for a little spin(Burton Loop), not sure what rotation your on... Post if your interested. Open to everybody, not just Rat..
I am off in the am so can make it.Thank God you blogged as I was hoping to do a good ride of 50-60km but a bit tired as I did 73k on Mon and 84k today.
Great ride this morning Boyz... Rat, Steve Stafford, Brian Carmichael and Donut. November 4th and still riding, doesn't get any better.. Thanks again guys..

My medical conditon (flu like) isn't the best. So going to pass on the ride. Have fun.
Hey sorry if I missed you guys. Ran a few minutes late. I gotta reset my clock from Rad Edge time to OSB time :). Just did the Quac loop.
Does anyone have any plans for tomorrow? Noonish? Weather looks like it will cooperate.
My son Phillip is playing soccer at 1:00, so I will be leaving on the road by 11:00, anyone interested?

Hey Smoothy,

Wish I was off as I look out from the windows of the ER, it looks like a glorious day for a ride.

Laszlo...welcome back! Am off this weekend, perhaps we can get a ride in.
Lazlo: Great to ride with you today, welcome back to F'ton and what is left of the cycling season. Does anyone want to ride tomorrow a.m.?
It is good to be back! Clean air, little traffic on the roads and good friends to ride with. Nothing in Europe could beat that. Maybe one day riding with good friends in Europe could?

Hey Smoothy,
your welcome, and I had the time yesterday.
Now the big news, My new ride is in at the Edge! plan to pick it up tomorrow.
Rat:
You'll want to ride lots now! Roads could be too icy in the morning to commute, I will take a look at 7:00. Should I call you if I'm cycling? Let me know when I can see the new bike!
Well I am just leaving work and there is alot of snow on the ground so a commute looks unlikely at least to work. The roads will be wet and icy at 0700 so I will sleep in. But weather permitting perhaps from work.
Rat: A new ride????? What did you get.
Is it just me, or does anyone else get excited even when someone else gets a new bike?
Morning Smoothie, looks too icy for a commute today, just have to get out another time. Rat, looking forward to seeing the new ride..
Myself, Steve Stafford and Rat are planning to head out for a ride this afternoon,(Quac Loop). Going to swing by the SS at 4 PM then meet up with Rat at the Tim Hortons on Woodstock Rd. Blog if your interested, or just be at the SS by 4..
