I have been slacking big time on my blog and I no this....Man. I finally have the ability to blog at work again. For some reason all my cookies were being blocked and had to ask an administrater to fix this and asure him that my work that i get paid to do is getting done :) Yeh Right..
It was a relaxing weekend. Didn't do a damn thing on Saturday except sleep, eat and be merry. Dereck called me Saturday nite to tel me about the team rd. ride in Big Bear Sunday morning. My wife turned my cell phone off so i could get some undisturbed needed sleep.I didn't notice this until about 6:30am. So that didn't happen.
Sunday was the 1st B.S. ride I attended without the Reed's present. They up and retired and moved to Colorado. The nerve of them. So Milkman called Loc leven for Sunday's ride. Before riding to Milkman's place I decided to ride up hwy330 to Citycreek forest station just to get a little climb in. The weather was great. Nice and cool at 6;30 in the morning. Once i got up to about 2300 ft. I rode out of the marine layer and into some warm sunshine, just to turn around and go back down to highland. Nice 1-1/2 hour warm up before the ride
We made it to Loc Leven around 8:55 for our 9 o'clock start.I was ready to go just threw my helmet on and i was gone. A good group showed up. Eight of us at the start.Joe ,Craig , jim,Marty,Adam from team possibilty's,Mr.&Mrs Milkman and myself.The pace was fast at first . I think we averged about 8-1/2 miles an hour up to the poison oak waterfall.Yes a very beutful waterfall surrounded by the poison oak. After that i backed off and let Craig and Adam do there thing. Once we got to the store everyone turned back except Marty, Adam and I continued to do the single trak. Once we started Adam didn't want to do the first section. He said it's really loose at this time plus he was on a cycle-cross bike. So Adam and i took the shortcut to the 2nd section while Marty ventured on solo. Santa ana river trail is always awesome . If you don't think so there is some thing wrong with ya. We rode to middle control rode then headed back up to A.O..From there headed back down to loc leven. To my surprise Mr.& Mrs. Milkman were still in the parking lot waiting for me. I had planned on rideing home to make it at least a 60-mile day. Instead we went to A&W for some cooked cow and ended my day with 38 miles and 3-1/2 hours of loly Gagin .
Monday morning i was out on the rode. Headed toward the north end . Took Kendal out to Little league dr. and Looped around and came down Palm. Short spin but it felt ggod to just spin.
26-miles 1-1/2 hours.
hopefully i'll be able to get some riding in before friday. I plan on doing the 12hours of Temecula on the 16th. That gives me 2-weeks to get prepared for rideing the same 10.5 mile course for 12 hours. Fun, fun ,fun. and the week after that.....Rim Nordic and i can't wait. I love that course and I feel that i'm as ready as i'm gonna be. Anyone plan on camping out??? C'ya there.
