Roads...

Where we're going we don't need roads.

Just kidding! Where i rode yesterday i needed lots of roads.

Speaking of which i've always loved riding my bike on the roads of KC.

We're a big enough city to have lots of cool neighborhoods and areas to explore but not so big that traffic and congestion is terrible.

I'm a fan.

We also seem to have a lot of mountain bike single-track. I didn't ride any of that yesterday but its out there. So much so that a friend recently said he was hesitant to move because of all our great single-track and that comment caught me off guard, do we really have it that good?

Whatever we have i do love it.

I also love riding my bike with no gloves and when you can do that in December its a pretty great day.

That's what i did yesterday. Rode my bike on the roads of KC wearing no gloves. 

I felt like Tim Johnson on his way to winning the 2007 cyclocross national championship. The race was in KC and it was cold but sunny and I think it turned into a two man race between him and Jonathan Page. About midway thru the race i vividly remember seeing Tim Johnson take off his gloves and i thought to myself "it's over he's got this".

It was and he did. 

He won.

Just like me.

It's like the great Bernie Mac says in Oceans 13...

"Literature? You don't need no literature. All you got's to do is FEEL it!"
