To Copper or not to Copper


I'm signed up for Copperopolis but having second thougts. Actually, I've had them all along but they've been getting stronger. The practice races at the track are sounding more appealing. More sleep, less driving, flat pavement, no hills and some free time during the day.






Any thoughts?

If I was home- I'd go with you to the track.

If you just want to get copper out of your system- well, you can ride out with me to Oakdale some Saturday and get your fill with the Valley boys.

Nice work hanging on at Zamora, BTW.

That profile looks like fun. Now how many times around that would you be dancing?

Track sounds like fun. I would be there, 'cept I've committed to being tutored in some skills. But next Tuesday I will be ready for another round of circlin' under the lights.

Last time at Copperopolis I flatted on the last lap on that really rough section near the finish. And after all that time suffering on the climbs and driving there...

Go to the track.

what kind of legs do you want to see?

lean, skinny, wattage-cottage per mass types?

or

beefy, explosives?

Hmmm...all good factors to consider. I think the additional sleep is really the deciding factor. Looks like we're headed to the TRACK.
