Stuff and No Pictures.

Summer...fun time of year but too much shit to cram into a 3 month period. Somethings suffer, this blog being one of them.
The 4th of July has come and gone...sober for me. I biked up to Jen's parent's cabin, about 60 miles, and spent the day in the sun with the family. Pretty good time. Usually people get good and loaded and do stupid shit, but like always, it happened before I got there. Maybe next time. Some guy was drinking Budweiser and smoking cigars. I was really craving that Budweiser, but Pepsi Max was the ticket.

Backing up a bit. The Tuesday Night ride last week was brutal. I always say I am not into numbers, but sometimes they are fun. 64 miles at a 21 mph average. The legs hurt but it was fun. I was humbled several times as I just didn't have enough in the tank to hang on or bridge the gap. Means I still have room for improvement! Looking forward to this Tuesday.
Wednesday Josh and I headed out for a nice recovery ride. We were both tired mentally and physically but it was good to spin the legs. Then on Thursday Mike and I headed out butt ass early to get some miles in before work. We were able to get 85 in. Friday was an off day to recover for the ride on Saturday. A good week of riding capped with a MTB ride on the fixed up Karate Monkey this evening. But damn if a swarm of bees didn't have fun on my right leg.

It's time to get a bit more serious about training. I am doing the fitness stuff fine, between the gym and the bike, but need to be a bit more careful what I eat. Since I stopped drinking I have lost a good amount of weight. With the exercise I feel I can eat anything and everything, which may be true, but what the hell...here we go. I need to head out with Kyia some too on her interval rides. Have to get ready for 8 hours of Afton and Chequemegon!
Oh yeah I took the plunge and bought a Garmin Edge 705. I see most of the Grandstay guys putting the hurt on me on Tuesday night have them so maybe this will make me faster. More numbers...

Out.
