Fitchburg TT...Euro-Hawk...Lame!

I have been noticing allot lately that everyone has the stupid eurohawk haircut. You know the one I am talking about. Not the full on skin head mo-hawk, but the shorter sides and the long hair down the middle. All the greasy euros in the World Cup soccer games are sporting them. Some are feathered with gel at the front and maybe even some high lights on the ends. I am so over the stupid Euro-Hawk cut! I am seeing allot of that same style haircut on the road scene now ever since Boonen was sporting it last season. Now there are a few wanna-bees rocking the Euro-Hawk and there is one guy on almost every pro road team that has one. Maybe I should grow the afro out again? I have had a few requests lately as it is getting long again and people are reminiscing about the days when I looked like Ronald McDonald. I personally hated it and thought it looked like a dead cat on top of my head. The point is, I am over the Euro-Hawk, it is lame, cut it!
The Fitchburg Longsjo Classic is underway now. I sucked it up in the TT in my usual style. I actually felt good is the thing. I felt good and went slow? Still trying to figure it out. I know where I made some mistakes along the way. My concentration was better this time but not great and I lost time in both turns as I was afraid of being the only one to dump it in the corners. There are allot of D-Towners here at this race. Troy Wells cam out with the best Durango TT ride in 37th, even beating his older bro in 41st. Must be good training making wraps all day at RGP's. Even saw Adam Snyder today cheering us on.
Today is the Circuit race which has a good climb in it and we do 25 laps. I guess it is super hard and in years past no one has gotten away but there are some gaps in the field later in the race. The road course is pretty tough as well with a wicked fast descent and a good steep finishing climb. I hope the legs feel better ad they go, but lately they have been feeling stale.
After Fitchburg I am heading back to Durango for a few weeks to rest a little and get some good training in. It will be good to be home for a few weeks and I look forward to some stable surroundings, some good coffee, and good rides.
We are staying in the Fitchburg University Dorms on the campus. I never had to live in the dorms because I started college late and am what you call a "Non-Traditional Student". Being older I missed out on the experience. I can honestly say that it isn't an experience that I regret not having in my life. I am rooming with Bill Elliston (Aka Dirtbag, Wild Bill). Somehow ended up getting the top bunk. When you climb up there the whole room shakes and the bed feels like it is going to collapse. The mattress is a luxurious twin with a fine plastic coating so that when I wet the bed at night is runs off the mattress onto the person underneath. Oh, and it makes you sweat like a banshee. The good thing is there are multiple showers and it is pretty quiet with a big kitchen and a t.v. down stairs so that Todd can watch the O.C. or whatever soap opera he is watching this month.
Well, I will post an update later after the Circuit race. Whish us luck, rubber side down all that jazz. Look forward to seeing everyone in Durango. Oh yeah, word is that there may be a big cross race in Durango this fall. More later.......
