Strange things happen to one’s mind during a time trial, particularly when it’s raining. Many thoughts come and go, like “Why am I here?” for example. Below is one of the musings of a waterlogged bike racer from today’s race (to the tune of “Singin’ in the Rain”):<\/p>\n

\"Piru-12-2-12-Results\"Dumb-de-de-dumb-dumb
\nDe-dumb-de-de-dumb-dumb
\nDe-dumb-de-de-dumb-dumb
\nDe-dumb-de-de-dumb-dumb…<\/p>\n

We’re racin’ in the rain
\nJust racin’ in the rain,
\nWhat a glorious feelin’
\nWe’re racin’ again.
\nWe’re laughing at the pain
\nWith pressure on the chain,
\nThe monitor’s on the heart
\nAnd we’re ready to start.<\/p>\n

Let the other riders chase
\nWhile we’re setting the pace,
\nCome on while the spray
\nShoots all over the place.
\nWe’re flying cross the line
\nWith the podium on our minds,
\njust racin’, racin’ in the rain
\nWe’re racin’ and placin’ in the rain…<\/p>\n

Today at the Piru TT, Canyon Velo was well represented in the race and on the podium. In rainy conditions, Paul L rode a super ride to take 1st place in the 45+ category. New member Bill L took the top step in the 65+. I also rode well enough to grab 2nd in the 55+. Three CV riders and three podium places. Nice… and wet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
