We had by far the best week of weather that one could have asked for in the valley of the sun. </div>

First two days were a bit on the warm side but that was just a good buffer for some mid westerns that </div>

I got to ride six of the eight days we were out there and got to ride some trails that did not exist when I live in the valley. New trails new faces and good times.... </div>

clinging to the ends of the many cacti that make up the </div>

<a href="http://sonoran%20desert%20/"><b>Sonoran Desert</b></a> .</div>
<div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">
Made it up to town and meet up with <a href="http://drunkcyclist.com/">Gnome</a> and</div>

trails were just as I remember them. As soon as we hit the bottom of the climb the </div>

speed went up and so did my HR. Legs felt great but</div>
<div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">
the recovery was tough Du to the lack of O2.</div>
<div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">
Climbed for a good bit and up dog food and one we were not sure of the name</div>
<div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">
then started to head towards Moto. </div>
<div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">
That is where I found the ground but saving <a href="http://upsideout.blogspot.com/">Yuri's</a> bike from </div>

the sharp volcanic rocks. </div>

After a long day of weather delays and slow travel we made it to the valley of the sun.</div>
<div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">
Some stiff drinks and food and we were in the pool.</div>

<div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">
I swung over to <a href="http://upsideout.blogspot.com/">Yuri's </a>house this morning to pick up</div>
<div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">
his SIR 9 to ride while I am in town. Dropped off a small pile </div>

Not sure what that means but I am riding single track and not dealing with the weather back home. </div>
<div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">
The ride it's self was super nice could put the bike any where that you wanted on a trail strewn with </div>
<div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">
baby head and bigger rocks. The Niner seemed to float down the trail. </div>
<div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">
Felt so good to out on dirt and even better to be in the sun. </div>
<div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">
More to come approaching this week as a rest and recovery have fun week</div>
<div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">
before the race season starts when we get home. </div>

Been trying to cram as much work into my days as I can. Two solid weeks and a few more days until we head off for vacation. Been going up through the quarry more and more now that the rivers have flooded the marsh. </div>

And after some 7500 miles and 2.5 seasons my</div>
<div style="color: orange;">
Bontrager hard case 28's have died. It does not help that I slammed on the brakes after I heard a motorist tell me to get on the F$#king sidewalk. </div>
<div style="color: orange;">
I whipped a skid around and went back to his open window and asked what?</div>
<div style="color: orange;">
Now I don't think that I am too scary looking... all kitted up even in the Metal kit,, but he did not have much to say when I asked what his problem was? It was a fun back and forth....If I was Pickle or Kingsberry I would have hit him.. Again I am not to scary, probably smelled bad so he went on his way. </div>

<div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">
Dropped the chain on the Lemond 8 times on friday and </div>
<div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">
almost launched the bike in to the creek.</div>
<div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">
Ended up with a snapped QR, now think that I have the issues remedy.</div>

<span style="color: orange;">Two solid back to back days of some hard riding. As </span><a href="http://www.timfaia.com/" style="color: orange;">Tim</a><span style="color: orange;"> would say I think that i knock over the china hutch. The warmer weather is making my Dark Heart smile. Spoke with CD today and a new </span><a href="http://chrisking.com/headsets/hds_nts" style="color: blue;">King</a><span style="color: orange;"> is on the way to keep my front end tight. Only issue is going to be once this bike is together I am going to want to ride it and ride it a whole bunch. </span></div>DMChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11621145244029853299noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17076264.post-54547626472786877812011-03-15T19:21:00.000-05:002011-03-15T19:21:53.621-05:00Stop,,,,,,,, Turnover<div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">

<div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">
the Achilles was not hurting and was able to muster the LT ride that </div>
<div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">
I needed. Feel as if things are coming along would like to test </div>

Might be the reason that I didn't sleep too well last night but it sure tasted good..</div>

Two full days off the bike and I am going crazy.</div>
<div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">
Spent yesterday getting some loose ends taken care of </div>
<div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">
and tending to a sick boy. </div>
<div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">
At the shop today starting to see the sparkle in peoples eyes</div>
<div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">
about being out on bicycles. The James got him self a new set of </div>
<div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">
wheels 24" getting to be a big boy. Garage is clean and bikes are ready to be ridden.</div>
<div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">
Worried about the pain that I have now acquired in my left Achilles. </div>
<div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">
Goal for tomorrow is 2-3 hours of tempo nice easy riding not pushing to hard</div>
<div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">
don't want to over do it and need more time off the bike. </div>

The weather has been a roller coaster lately. Just yesterday winter storm </div>
<div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">
and today 40 and windy. Work needs to get done when you can </div>
<div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">
and after a roller session in the garage I was more than happy to be outside today.</div>
<div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">
Been trying to do the same loop once a week and go 75-85%.</div>
<div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">
Today the wind was blowing from the north and then every direction that </div>
<div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">
I turned. But the roads were bone dry and the weather man says that </div>
<div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">
the temps are going to be going up and may even see 60 in a week. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: orange;">I am so ready to peal off the layers of winter. </span></div>

<span style="color: orange;">More hills and some had snow and most had sand.. So much sand that if you got out of the saddle to climb your back wheels spun out. </span><br />
<div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">
But the climbing has been good. </div>

Sounds as if more snow and or frozen rain/rain is on the way and that may force things inside much to my dislike.<br />

But I will be thankful for the Sunday to Sunday stretch that I had. I think that </div>
<div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">
I even saw Kevin Kern out today, hoping that he </div>
<div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">
can show his face more often than not. </div>

Days are getting longer and that means that the nights are getting shorter. WOW. </div>
