Lots of Stuff....

…..has gone down since the last post. Here is a REALLY brief summary, just in case you were wondering.

My parents came for a long weekend and we remodeled the kitchen. New paint, new floors, counter tops and appliances. It was a long weekend, but definitely good bonding with my Dad. I’ll post some before and after photos later.

Gianna picked up her scooter the same weekend, so once this wintry weather leaves for good you can count on her getting out on the roads. I took it for a spin and it is sweet. I already have a backlog of motor pacing sessions with folks.

I finally got the road bike put back together and out on the road. I went with on a Saturday morning ride with Doig. I quickly realized that the trainer has not gotten me in as good of shape as I would have liked.

The Yeti has color! It took about another 3 hours to finish up. Yes Ray, it hurt like a bitch. But hey, that’s what hardcore's do right? It is peeling right now, so pictures will be coming. Actually I just remembered that this one if floating around out there. Thanks Cuban!

Cat6 had a really fun fundraising function that revolved around bikes and beer. I was lucky enough to win a sweet door prize to boot. G was coerced by Little D and Ray to make a showing. Her and Ray found out that they have something in common.

Speaking of Bikes and Beers I agreed to ride the MS 150 with G. Her company is a corporate sponsor so they have a tent with all the food and beer that you can stomach at the halfway point and finish. I’ll end up riding 150 miles and gaining 10 lbs! Here are our sweet jerseys.

My workouts are starting to have a speed component built back into them. After the long winter and several bouts with illness, I think I may be getting back on track. I think my running fitness is my strength right now.

Arizona in a about two weeks. It will be great to get some long rides in out in the sun. Beyond some solo riding we plan on a lot of nothing. Sitting at the pool, going out for dinner and some straight up relaxing!
