Colorado

The Colorado trip is in full swing. Got in yesterday and built the bike as soon as we got to the house. As soon as my brother-in-law Ben got home we went for a ride at a trail called Falcon. Not being used to mountains and altitude, it was a very humbling experience. We rode 10 miles. Five torturous miles up then five beautiful, fast, crazy downhill miles back. Then back to the house, one Fat Tire Ale, dinner, and then pass out. What a great first day!

Life Goes On

I am officially done grieving the death of Billy Mays. I feel a certain loss, a hole in my life that cannot be filled with a pathetic Sham-Wow. It would have to be something much more substantial like a new Ronco product or something of similar high quality. I will savor the last of my Oxy-clean and Magic Putty knowing that I can no longer buy these products when Billy is not here to back them. Who knows what kind of hap-hazard quality control will go on when Billy is not here looking over someone's shoulder (who's shoulder I have no idea). Good bye Billy! You are now Chopping in a much better place!

With that said and done, I continue to ride and train on my schedule. I leave for Colorado in a little over a week. I look forward to all the climbing and even more to the descending. When I get back I will be starting some intervals. I'll post any ride picture when we get back.
