Ore to Shore Pre-Ride

Pete and I rode the last several miles of the ore to shore course today. It seemed way sandier than I remember it last year. Sand sucks. :-(

Dallas Business Trip

Well, I spent an hour on a stationary bike in the hotels fitness room to kinda keep my streak alive. Even though it's not really riding ... It was better than nothing.

Trying to be normal?

Except for the 12 days in a row I spent on the trainer with a broken collarbone back in April I have ridden my bike outside everyday this year. Well, I have a little bussiness trip this week which could have me miss a day on the bike. :-(

I was trying to figure out how I might sneak a ride in on my trip to try and keep my current streak alive but I think I might be a normal person for one day this year and stay off the bike. I got a feeling I'm gona be grumpy that day.

Big M Weekend

Had a fun weekend... Camped up at Big M with Joe Lee and Greg in Joe's Camper. Pretty nice to wake up at the start line.

Race went well for the team and I was really happy with my finish. Looking around at the start I might have expected more like 10th but with the non-technical trail I was able to finish in a nice spot at the end of the day.
