Cool piece that somes up the weekend

[PacMan]

As I sit here in bed on my laptop, reflecting on the awesome weekend of riding I had, all the while reading the RR's and tales from all of you, I was reminded of a short piece from BIKE magazine's recent photo issue written by Jo Burt titled "Done":

Lying in bed, face up, shoulder blades and butt cheeks touching the sheets, cool void in between. Legs dense and sinking deep into the mattress like it's just thick water, hams tangibly aware, quads slowly pulsing to a whale's heartbeat.

The usual knotted left calf, skin from short to sock line taught like pork crackling from the day's sun. White feet and upper leg feel new and cool in comparison. Ride-exposed flesh is punctuated and tingling from every thorn, thick grass blade and vicious thing brushed past, with more concentrated pain pulsing from the stumbled pedal-kiss on the shin.

The boys done good. Sleep comes like a light switch.
