Yesterday Tbone and I hit up the Kettles. First time this season and good times as usual. Half way through we ran into Duckett and Matt G, rode the connector back with those guys. Last few miles of Emma, Matt and I opened it up a bit, felt good to shake the cobwebs out.
Sunburn is back in session!
The Doc ride was an easy seduction.
On the way out I came upon this guy, defecting his socialist homeland to enjoy the land of progressive capitalism, urban sprawl and McMansions, that is the LC.
Feeling ill didn't slow this guy down much either. Him and B.Lund kept it in front all day.
Good ride. Afterwards I soloed north for about 50 more. Running on last nights burrito and jelly beans, I figured it'd be best to fuel up before taking on the Holy Hills and headwind home. Tanlines are back in session!
Just not on the bike. Floors are shiny, doors are new, paints on the walls, Colorado's in the air, work is crazy. Whats new? Come May 1 I'll welcome Mr. and Mrs. Iguana to the Casa de Ronsta Elite Training Compound located in beautiful downtown Waukesha. Chances are Carlos'll be pullin' my ass around the dirt circuit this year. Word is I'm in for all 12. Guess I should get a new ride together. Tomorrows Tuesday and if you haven't been there, be there, 5p.
Woke up to a promising morning. 80 mile Whitewater loop on the fixed sounded like a plan. 1:15 in the weather threw a wrench in the plans. Facing a headwind induced stinging rain, it wasn't gonna happen today. Cut short, the tailwind was nice but also meant the rain would join me for the ride home. The dropping temps numbed my arms and brought peace to my decision. 40 is still better than nothing. It was a nice reminder Spring is here.
Arigato gozaimasu Akiko!
