I had a crazy, emotional, awesome, weird, busy week. I went to Utah to see family that I hadn't seen since my dad died. The Mountain Bike Series had it's last race. The weather has gotten notably colder.
Yet I still have that feeling I had in early June, like, taking a big breath to get ready for a huge plunge. And while I feel that, I still have that feeling of cold beer going down my tired throat after the Grinder, the Dead Dog, the Enduro and now the Series. It's weird!
I have been so busy (in the best way) this summer that now that it's ending, it's weird! I'm kind of mourning all that stuff I worked my ass off to do. I kind of miss being stressed out...kind of. :) Our (our being the Laramie Mountain Bike Series) big bbq party (with KEGS) is tomorrow. That ought to be fun, and full of closure or some shit. I get so bummed out after the Series ends.
There's still one big (?) race on the 26th. I thought it was going to be a bit low-key, but it's looking pretty serious. I'm not too worried. I just have to head up registration and timing and figure those details out. It shouldn't be too hard, just a bit more intense than I originally thought.
Two days after that race is my birthday. My goll dern Golden Birthday. 28 on the 28th. I should do something awesome that day.
Damn you, August!
