...off to Minneapolis

Yesterday's weather was weather I can relate to. I love it warm and even kinda humid. So warm, that as soon as you begin turning over the pedals on your bike, you're warmed up already. Very nice. I rode for 3+ hours to make up for the fact that I may not get too much time in the saddle for the next few days.

It's time for the Nature Valley/Great River Energy Stage Race and I am off to the Twin Cities in a few hours. It feels kinda strange for me to be going to a bike race and leaving my star racer at home. Mike's more than a little bummed about missing the race, but he's more happy about what we've got now that he's bitten the bullet. He LOVES being a homeowner.

Now that he's not so headstrong with his training, he'll even ride with me a couple of days a week. He's still a hammer and he still trains alot...(still riding almost 350-400 miles a week!), but it's nice to be able to just "ride" sometimes.

Anyway---I guess the next report will be a race report...the guys called me from Indiana last night so we should all arrive in Minneapolis around the same time this evening...

Have a great Tuesday!

Pete's tire rolled off his rim on his way to our house for the "after work" ride. Guys usually meet at our house around 6pm and ride until 8pm Note the cool riding outfit!

I got up to make coffee this morning and came back to this...my two "Scrappers!" Mike says he'll miss me while I am gone, but there will be more room...Sydney might be a small hound, but she takes up LOTS of real estate!
