Doping scandles, team sponsors or licenses lost, riders jumping teams, cybercrime, crashes, injuries and even deaths in the races. It's about stinkin' time there was something lighter (er… maybe I mean 'darker'?) on cyclingnews!
Today marks the end of November and here's a summary of the month:
Read more on November wrap-up…
On a bit of a downer note, here's a product update for the Illuminite arm/leg warmers.
I attempted to race the rain cells this morning and get to work dry.
It didn’t work as planned.
Just an ordinary commute, except that I rode home in the middle of the afternoon. So pissed off at an out of hand office situation that I couldn't stand being there any more. It's all I can do from screaming I QUIT YOU STUPID M@#$%@#$ERS.
Only problem was it was 65 degrees and I was dressed for about 50. I had assumed I would be riding home after dark and in the rain, so was way overdressed. Ah well.
Another one of what is becoming a typical winter ride: commute to/from work, then pick up extra miles on the return trip.
A few random observations for today…
Oh this is just too insane! From Nov. 27 on cyclingnews.com. Read on:
As if I didn't have that little competition sewn up on the return trip from Highlander, today I passed up a horse & buggy while riding down Covington-Bradford Rd. Gave 'em one hell of a wide berth too. Last thing I need to is to get trampled by a horse… then I'd have all you jokers singing that Grandma/Reindeer song but with different words:
… you should always ride solo when it's 60 degrees in November?
If you rode with friends they'd see you haven't shaved your legs in a month! 
This evening I got to do a bit of a time warp loop since I was in Beavercreek. Basically the fringes between Fairborn and Beavercreek and near the WSU campus. This was interesting to me for a number of reasons.
9500 miles! Just 500 more to go 'til 10k. OK, so I'm actually 5 miles short, but what the hell.. those'll be gone by tomorrow afternoon. I'll pick up another 100 minimum before the week's out, so that'll leave just 400 and 5 weeks to do it.
I'm guessing I'll hit the mark by mid-December. The rest 'll just be the gravy. Who knows, if I head south somewhere for a 4 day trip before New Years, I may even make 10,500.
Yesterday I mentioned the GOBA route was announced. Today I found out that XOBA will be a Lake Erie coastal route, although the specifics won't be announced until January. Regardless, while there are a lot of neat destinations along the lake, the riding between them is really quite boring. So I'm already ruling that out.
