Its all good...

This past weekend was good on fronts. Good rides, good blogs, good results, and good times!Saturday John and I headed south on the road bikes for some good hills and some threshold intervals. The first intervals of the year are always a shocker but I think they went pretty well. I have the power tap hooked up again, thanks to Maggie at Cycleops, (as a side note Cycleops has very good customer service) and it is always fun to see watts, the know all tell all of numbers. Anyways the ride was good, lots of sun, hills, and spectators. John and I were chased down and passed by two middle school aged kids on their moped. The kid on the back was carring a BB gun and their ride was wound to the max as they crawled by us. We decided they were "urban hicks" since they replaced the fourwheeler with a moped and the 30-06 with a BB gun. Sunday's ride was solo but much of the same with slightly cooler temperatures. I headed Mondovi way and found some new dirt climbs which are always exciting, especially for the mountain bike blooded. I rolled over several dirt passes and through the woods connecting cty HH to cty Z. All added up it was just shy of 6000 cal knee warmer tan weekend.

On the college front we headed over to 137 Saturday night for a shindy in EC's down town. Things got a little crazy for most but John and I just laughed as our amigas and amigos danced their cares into the night! On sunday night the atmosphere was slightly different as we prepared for Pairis-Roubaix. We were all excited except for me because in my hast Sunday morning I accidently refreshed the velo page with out thinking...Fabian, I was screaming inside, of course I wanted George to win! It was good anyways but I quess thats racing and freak things happen!

Of course I could not get away without mentioning SeaOtter! "What a mess" would be an unstatement from what I heard. Tj was even delayed on his ride home due to a mudslide! A big props to all the midwest and rockymountian riders for the good results! I hope to see some good blog updates from the racers.

Today I also payed my tution deposit for next semester. I am locked in for classes next fall and believe it or not they haven't kick me out yet. As of now it looks like I will be on the market for a high paying teaching job some time in December of 2007!

hey guys! I just got finished with my base rides last week ,though most of them ended up being a bit shorter than they should have, and have started in on the intervals. I have recently been reading your blog and I find alot of inspiration in hearing about your rides. I'm stuck all by myself here in rf and I can't find any other cyclists. Anyway I look forward to working with and riding with both of you this summer!
