Coming Down

Race Saturday.

Gravel Sunday.

Monday was go-go-go-go work getting XXC #11 finished up.

Now it's Tuesday, the mag is done, and I can breath for a moment and come on down. This one was a tough one. Things just didn't come together for me creatively. But in the end there were a lot of great things I love about it. Now to start thinking about #12. OK, maybe not just yet.

It also pissed down rain in buckets all morning and evening. Not cool. I suppose we needed some rain up here, but was sort of bummed to miss out on a ride. So I had to make a quick to the gym for a workout, then home to get back to work and finish up the loose ends with the mag.

Finally going to get the endurance season started this coming month: I signed up for The Hanson Hill Hundred on 5.28, but before that there is the 6 & 12 Hours of Stony Creek on the 14th. I will most likely sign up for the 6 hours for that one. A. Because I probably don't have what it takes to ride 12 hours anymore, and B. I'm pretty sure I don't have the attention span to do another LAP race for 12 or 24 hours. I can barely get this blog written without pausing to look at porn, check other site, and goof off. Plus the 6 hour doesn't start until 2 p.m.. And that gives me plenty of time to eat breakfast, take 6 to 9 dumps, drive and get ready to race. Maybe too much time though? We'll see. I've been told the races are pretty grass rootsy, but cool to do. Again... we'll see.

Later.

Both trail systems are awesome. Try to make a week of Stony and ask for directions to following:

Rochester- rail2trail-bloomer-rail2trail/greenway/road-Stony-rail2trail/greenway/road- Bald Mountain- and back. Awesome epic greatness in a metro area.
Mount Pleasant Mike again.
