just ride....

Hey, whaddya know? I did some actual riding this weekend. It was too damn nice not to. We hit 29.6C on Friday I believe and 27.5 yesterday. David and I did the Chariot trailer thing Friday. Holy wind, Batman. The hills were such fun. "Daddy, move it" every time I stopped to rest. My own personal coach!

Took the Lemond out for a spin Saturday. Felt great, 2 and a half hours, no clouds. Why are some roadies so damn snobbish? I don't get it. Whatever. Fantastic ride. I think the entire city was out there.

Today I didn't have much time so I headed over to an old gravelpit area to do some hill repeats. Warmed up on an asy one for a few reps and finished on one that I can barely make it up. Spun out the legs and headed home for a nice BBQ with the family.

Going to try to keep the momentum going, only 2 weeks to my first ever 8 hour race. The weather is not going to cooperate, but that's what fenders are for, right? If I don't have time, I'll just have to make time.

Rain and general laziness...

haven't ridden much this week due to the fantastic (not) weather we've had. It's been very dry so I guess we need the rain. Had a good couple of road rides to end last week and one very good mtn bike ride. I should have raced the Salty Dog. I have to get moving on the job search here as well.

If it clears up enough this afternoon I'll take David out in the Chariot.
