Last night I was dreaming that I came home and Kelly surprised me with a ZR Cycles track bike with sweet star cutouts everywhere. I have essentially no use for a steel track bike right now but I was pumped. She had also gotten herself a red ZR 3-speed commuter with a dynohub. Sweet, 3 ZRs in the house! When I woke and told her about it, she laughed at the idea of owning such a bike. Not her style.
Stuck in dreamland and lulled by the howling winds outside, I slept in and blew off a chance at an easy commuting day to spin the previous days' efforts out of my legs. Listen to your body, they say. Mine is sending mixed messages.
Looking forward to the Trash Dash and Gibbs Lake this weekend, I need to keep my legs on track. The series is looking close, though Casey has a gap on Maciej and I, with another couple of possible threats from below. Anything can happen and there are a variety of courses left to race, so I need to stay consistent and get all the points I can. I need a win if I want a shot at the overall, and I can't help but think that Sunday would have been as good a chance as any. I guess my expectations have been on the rise since the beginning of the series, so it's time to crank it up another notch.

20 points is nothing! Keep doing what you are doing and you will catch them.
Nice racing last weekend! This is Brown Bear (Brian) from your previous post. Yeah, my freehub body skipped half a pedal stroke right before the sprint at CamRock. So no worries on the pass, I wasn't going to hang with you guys in the sprint anyway with it skipping. Good luck this weekend.
Sorry to hear about the freehub, it's always frustrating when your outcome is decided by mechanical problems.
