Wow, all the musical talent here! My mother has a restored baby grand in her living room that she plays like a dream......unfortunately, I did not inherit her talent for music making, but I do really enjoy the other end of things - just listening. When the harmony is just so, I get goosebumps. My brother DID, however, inherit the music-making gene - drums is his instrument and he is extremely talented at the recording end of things. He converted part of his garage into a studio, where he and his band record tracks. Me...ummm... I totally flopped at the flute, and that's puttin' it nicely. I took up art and sports instead.
Ok, back to the subject at hand...goals. I haven't had a chance to work out any mileage goals, but one goal I do have at this point is to be able to stay with the Saturday morning group - the racers - and be competitive again on sprint/interval training and all-out practice race nights. If I can get to that point by the end of the season, I might seriously consider racing next year (yikes! I'll be in the Masters 35+ category!!). There alot of "if's" here, as I have time issues with the kids, job, etc., but my gut tells me I can do it if I really apply myself. It's just keeping the balance of all those time demands that will be difficult.
This is hilarious! I'm with you there - the only thing worse is headwinds! That giant hand pushing you backwards!! I'm usually uttering a low groan (literally!) most of the time.Quote:
I think I "ouch!"......I think I "ouch!!"......I think I "Ooowwwuuuch!" <-- Me on hills
Good luck with your goals (racing sounds totally scary!)
Re Conservatory people- Nope don't know him. I was amongst the first people to graduate after the Conservatory got accreditedin the '60s. Tells you how long ago that was (before your time, yes?) :D
I was born in '67, so it was probably right around my starting time. So now you're the Bike AND Music Goddess!
Wow, I really let this thread go for too long.
I'm a viola major, too, and somehow I've kept it up. We have a concert coming up the 17th, then the season is over and I can ride on Thursday nights. :D
Once I started to do an inventory of instruments for insurance purposes, but was overwhelmed by the sheer number of music-making devices we have - period, working and otherwise so I never quite completed it.
I'd vote for a ride that starts and ends at V's house, we'd all have to bring either food or instruments, though. I'd hate to be a burden. (I'm ignoring the fact that I live many miles away - guess my ride will start weeks earlier.) :p
Well plan it so you come through Albuquerque and pick me up!! :pQuote:

Getting ready to take him in right now to have his checkup and of course....start the whole build him to suit me process. Don't know why but I keep hearing the 6 million dollar man music in the background with the voiceover saying: we Can rebuild him! ;)Quote:
