Riding

Last week was a good block of endurance riding, finished off by a big one Sunday. Things have been BUSY otherwise: a very fun b-day dinner for Beth Friday, planning for Kathleens wedding in Tx this weekend!!, travel plans for bump& grind, busy days at work, etc... I've been doing an ok job of shutting things down in the evening and relaxing.

We'll see how much energy is in the tank for some race pace efforts on the mountain bike this evening. Although close to a lot of neighborhoods, Aliso & Wood Canyons is actually a good place to get away from all the busyness of the world in the evening. Training on the road bike is sometimes tough right after work with the noise of the traffic not allowing me to tune out mentally like I can on the mtn bike... time to ride...
