Early to Bed

I'm not sure what's been happening in my innards recently but my body has been CRAVING sleep like no one's business.  Over the weekend I was getting 11 hrs of sleep a night.  There's a bug going around the office that I suspect I was fighting off but I'm not really sure.  What I do know is that Marcy is getting tired of me either falling asleep after reading stories to B or going to bed shortly afterwards.  I'm not sure why but she seems to like to spend time with me.  It's a psychological defect that she should look into really.  Anyway, last night was no different with me going night night at 8 frickin 30 but I think things have taken a turn for the better because at 3 fucking 30 this morning I was wide awake and ready for the day.  I fought it for an hour but, finally, at 4:30 I decided to get up and do a little trail work before my ride in.  It worked so well that I may do this on a semi regular basis.  In a couple of weeks I could have my home property trails back in working order after the early leaf fall.  Of course, once the rest are down I'll have to do it all over again but at least I'll be able to see the trails for the time being.  Plus, the Bathers will be coming by soon for a ride and I don't want them whining the whole frickin night...

This morning, when I got in, I had an e-mail from team manager extraordinaire Big "don't call me gay" Al welcoming me (and everybody else) to the 2011 team.  In my reply to him, I made my first semi public announcement that in 2011 I'll be racing elite.  I'm not sure what manner I'll be doing so yet.  Maybe Elite in the EFTA series?  Or expert/elite in the Root 66 series so that I don't have to completely commit?  I'm not sure yet but, rest assured, I'll be getting my ass whupped in 2011.

Would this mean the *entire* Bikeman team has been established for 2011? Inquiring minds...

I think the answer to that is yes but I'm not Big Al so I couldn't say for sure. I think the final tally had to be made by the end of this month.
