Omloop het Prairie Path

I set out for the prairie path knowing the rains of last weekend would have it soft in places, but i didnt expect this. This picture was on of the few that i could snap, as there was not much time to have my hands off the bars. This, as nasty as it may look was one of the better sections.

The weapons - cross rig, SKS race fenders, iPod with Hate playlist ( NIN, Nitzer Ebb, Bizkit, Ministry, etc)

Once i realized i was in for a slopfest, i relished it. I let the challenge work with me instead of against me. I knew it would be war and i welcomed it with open arms. It the kind of workout that leaves your legs feeling like you did 10,000 squats the day before. I wanted the pain, i needed it. I kept thinking about how it would be in Belgium, trying to ride that fine line on the edge of the road, part grass, part slop. Thinking about the days spent in windswept Muncie, playing Boss of the Bergs and getting it handed to me on a regular basis.

I finished spent, tired, and proud. I hosed off the rig and set it in the sun to dry.
