Ride / Training Update

Yesterday I went out on my own, probably for longer than I should have, but the bike was working well, and I figured I should make the most of the two hours I had. I left the house and headed for some of the hills between the homestead and the river. Then decided to head along the river for a spell.

I didn't get as far as I would have liked, as there was an accident, but that was probably a good thing as I got back as the day light was starting to fad.

Today, I stopped by ED's Ski and Cycle, to see how my friends weekend was camping with the family. He mentioned that they were going out on the Monday night ride, and urged me to join. I had been staying away as I don't have much time in the seat, and figured I would pick that ride up in a week or two. But no time like the present.

I showed up at the Colonial Diner, and headed out with the group. Lots of nice Masi's. The ride was pretty uneventful, and showed that it was true, i can't climb to save my ass. They say the best way to be a better climber is to lose weight.

No shit!

Well while i didn't climb all that great, i still ended stronger than i normally would, and it is a great group of guys and girls, so I'll be making it regularly or as regularly as i can with my schedule.
