You Want to Do What???

Friday, March 5th, 2010

We got the fit kit back today. The order is in. Our super-cool jerseys should be in the first week in April… Just in time to sweat them up real good before OKfreeing.

The training plan for tomorrow has 100 miles in it. Oooh, that’s not a good sign. So, Lori says how about this route:

We’re talking LOTS of climbing here. 8000′ maybe. 102 miles. And Eddy is in the shop getting his Spring tune-up, so I’m riding my old steely Serotta Colorado Concept. 20ish years old and still chugging along. The biggest loss is I don’t have my Brooks saddle. Just some high-tech Fizik Areone. If you don’t hear from me… . Naw, it’s okay. The West Marin bus runs along the coast, and they have bike racks. Worst case, I can take the bus to catch up with Lori. I think it’s bedtime though!

Vacations

Today I rode to work. Training for vacation. Thinking about vacations…

A couple of days ago I found a roll of film from our May 2009 vacation to Utah/Arizona. Here are a couple of pics form the Hassy:

And to give you some scale, here is one with Lori, er, scaling the hoodos! Cookie was probably on the other side, finding her own route to the top. She is fearless on sandstone/slickrock.

Training

This is a picture before her 95 mile day. She was almost as happy afterwards. Well, in some ways more happy, some less. Very tired, but in a good way.

Here is a pic from my run this morning:

And here is a picture of the beach yesterday down at Stinson Beach. It was a dirty, winter beach for sure.
