Stepping It Up A Notch...

This was supposed to be s transition week for me, but it has turned into a rest week. I seem to have picked up yet another cold. Not a real bad one but enough to slow me down. Also my 11 year old nephew is staying with us this weekend so that means no 4 hour rides. Which is a lot easier than keeping an 11 year old entertained. Today I met up with Jay Jay for a little ride at Fair Hill, and for some reason I decided to switch to two to one gearing. I am trying to build up some power. Today was not a good day to make the switch. Because of the cold and being up all night I had no energy, the gear didn't feel that bad I was just sluggish. I think I am going to stick with it for a while. Hopefully it was just the cold effecting me today.

By the way Jay was riding well today. It was all could do to not get dropped. Maybe I will feel better tomorrow.

Later,

White Clay with Beans The Magical Fruit...

Today's ride started pretty early for Matt run Forrest and I, we rolled out of his house at 7:30. The plan was to pick up people at The Ticking Tomb, which was fatmarc, Wes the Conqueror and Fort James. From there we headed to White Clay where we picked Up Brent Biddle, and host of Beans Boys. It was good to have Ben, Bob, Kevin, Rick, Chris, Marcus, and Rob join us today. The plan was an epic ride through White Clay Middle Run and maybe Fair Hill. Unfortunately things didn't work out that way. The trails started to thaw early so we decide to skip Middle run and try Rittenhouse. At that point Marc and Wes had to go so Matt and I were the only locals left. The trip to Rittenhouse meant a lot of riding on the road. More that I thought but it wasn't too bad. Rittenhouse was great and I think the Boys enjoyed it. I have to admit that on our wait back from Rittenhouse I was totally cooked.

I was supposed to be on a rest week, instead I ended up with 8 hours on the mountain bike this weekend. Maybe I will rest next week.

Ridin' the Couch,
