Past and Future

Unit's picture

My priorities have prevented me from posting here for a few days...not that many of you have probably missed my words. I thought I would make a quick post to detail my week (up to now and what is planned for the weekend).

Just covering the high points here. Tuesday night we did a little night riding action and scored a few nice bruises (I posted about those). Thursday night, we kicked off the first gravel road cruise of the year (it was a great time, even though the haunted bridge proved uneventful).

The real dope is going to be this weekend! The annual Poker run and Weiner Roast is being held Saturday evening starting at 4:30. This was a pile of fun last year! Essentially, RedWheel Bike Shop sponsors this free event and stages people along the trail with decks of cards. Riders pick up a card at each point, and the person with best hand wins stuff. If that is not enough, they fire up a grill and perhaps a bonfire, and everyone eats, drinks, and socializes for as long as you can stand the cold, or until everyone runs out of food and drink. It should be a great time.

Sunday, I plan to do a bit of riding of some sort...not really decided, but I think I need to consider doing some sort of base training. Doh! There I said it! It is true though, I need to do some training...nothing too serious, just need to build a little base so that I can get some endurance back into these legs. I might even break out the road bike. If anyone wants to drag my sorry ass around some country roads on a road bike...give me a call.
