A Little Here, A Little There

Since my last post, I've been trying to ride at least 15-20 miles a day, as time allows. Sometimes I make it out, sometimes I don't. Went for a 38 mile ride this morning with Chris Locke and his wife Carolynn. They were on their tandem and I was on my trusty Seven Axiom. It was one of the nicest days yet. The wind was low and the temps were in the 60's. I met them up at Worth Harley Davidson and we headed over to and down 210, then up through Liberty and Pleasant Valley to home. I felt great, but definately not fast yet. I should blame it on being out late at my buddy Art's house, but I am still just out of shape.

Good times and good friends, that's hard to beat. Besides Art, my long time friends Jim and Steve were there, as well as others. I've known these guys since High School or longer and we all still hang out and torture our wives with stories of the good old days. Always a good time. Well, Art got the Pacquiao-Hatton fight on pay-per-view. Man, if you didn't get to see it, check out the hi-light of the TKO in the 2nd round. Pacquiao clocked him into next week. He was hit so hard, that his ears shook (no kidding). I clocked out at about 11:30 and headed home since I was riding Sunday morning with the Lockes, but things were still going strong when I left.

I am really enjoying the bike again, so hopefully I can ramp up the training and get ready for some road racing prior to a full cyclo-cross season. I hope to at least do the Tour of Lawrence and the Tour of KC.
