Start of it all...

So, here I am all jittery and shaky from the coffee I drank 4 hours ago. I never "use" caffeine except for races or every now and then when I don't get enough sleep. I had no reason whatsoever to use it today, except for the fact that a new coffee shop opened up in town and ever since the old one closed I had no place to chill in the mornings when I'm home. I went down there hoping to see most of the same faces as I used to, and much to my pleasure I did. Socialized over some coffee, ya know, chatted with the locals. It's fun...but now I'm hoping I come off the caffeine high real soon, I hate this jittery feeling.

Anyway, I was surfing the net and thinking about how I should update the Notre Dame Cycling blog and found myself checking out blogs and ended up reading what seemed like every blog written by a cyclist here in Iowa. I thought to myself "Im a cyclist in Iowa, I like people to know what I think, I like talking trash about people on the internet but not doing it to their face, I should start a blog, too!" So, I did. I'm getting tired of playing the role of anonymous good cyclist, so, instead of letting my legs do more of the talking, I'll let my blog do some, too. I'll write more, probably today, but I really want to eat my pancakes and I should probably fix the dirt cheap so it doesn't explode at the race tomorrow.
