Went to the Phillies game on Friday night. It was the first time I had ever tailgated before a game and it was definitely a rocking good time and reminded me of college as so many random people would just come on by our group and say hi. I went to the game with one of my old coworkers and some of his friends, 2 of which had never seen a MLB game. Wow did we have a crazy time at the game, I don't think those ladies had any clue how wild it was b/c in one night we had a grandslam, a balk, a coach get ejected, and a fan run onto the field and play cat and mouse for 2 minutes....plus they cut off the beer by the 5th inning (it was college night) and it was dollar dog night. I'm not the biggest baseball fan, but this game was non stop action, from the field to the stands as not only were there was tons of hits (probably b/c the pitchers were cold), hotdogs were flying through the air all night and there were a lot of rumbles in the stands b/c of the dogs.
I called it a night after the game, as on Saturday it was another round of Ambler (3rd time this year, each one I'm sucking more than the week before, not a good trend!), and with the rain today we did another 2 hours after the Ambler ride to get some climbing in and that's when I totally bonked on the Rosemont climb in Gladwynn. I can normally hit a good pace and have even big ringed this roller of a mile climb, but yesterday was 39-25 and I was still struggling to keep on top of the pedals. It's amazing how just riding on the weekends this Spring has made me slower than most of my cycling posse. I definitely hate that feeling and hopefully once the 2006 tax season is done on Tuesday I can finally ride during the week.
I hung out with the "Professor" and his rocking posse last night as they celebrated a fine lady's b-day. Damn did she have some hot friends, one was even a CMO/CDO (a type of fixed income) trader at a firm a few blocks from me. It was a stupid-silly night, one of those fun times where we are those loud obnoxious people at a bar who piss off everyone else b/c we're just too phunking happy. The rain totally sucked away our energy though as by 2:30 am every cab in the city was booked up and we all got soaked walking back from Olde City to CC (10 blocks). Luckily I woke up at 7am feeling good and pumped for Paris-Roubaix, and what an awesome race! You gotta love it when a dude wins who was in the first breakaway in the day!
Hope everyone got out and rode yesterday!
Ride on,
-BC
