WTF!!

So I am back to civilization....or Canada. What the hell, i drove through a snow storm to get home. I am supposed to be able to come home from the derty south, and ride single track, now its all covered in snow.

I got a decent last week in, with some good rides with benno, one painfull ride at issaqueena where I snapped my hanger like 10km from my car, and i didnt feel like breaking my chain, so i just walked out. So I am home now, hoping to get out for a fewhours today, probably go check out copeland, see if its dry enough to ride the trails there. If not just will be a road ride somewhere, maby over to collingwood.

Heading up to meaford to start working there tomorrow, so hears hopin there is time to train.

Good Clean Southern Fun

Havnt posted in a few days. Just a quick update. I have been riding pretty much every day, though I have been sick latley, so i havnt been going too too hard. I started off with a 4 hour ride with ben and jerome on sunday, monday rode isaaqueena for about 2 hours. Tuesday just spun for an hour on the road bike, stopped in seneca to get some cold medication. Wednesday did about 2 hours of either climbing or decending in Pisga Park(there is nothing flat or rolling). Yesterday did a decent day of climbing. Rode the Blue Ridge Parkway, it was about 4 hours, 115km, something around 5000ft of climbing.

Today I might just do an hour or two on the road bike. I need to do an overhaul of the BB first. Then I need to get my car into a shop. Something is up with the front driver wheel. Either ball joint or CV joint.

BENNO!!!!!!

Made it to bens. 14 hours 20 minutes. Ben said he beat me when he drove. I did it on 2 hours of sleep though, so I win. I think I found every starbucks on the way down. I am still jacked on caffeine. There is talk of a ceasars head ride tomorrow. Supposed to be nice. I will see if I am up for it when I wake up, I am exaughsted right now.

being lazy

I dont know whats come over me the last few days, but i have just not been in a riding mood. I was sick last weekend, so i missed out on the pancake ride.....then i headed back to petewawa for 3 days of work, and just had zero motivation. I would get to my room after work at around 5, and just sleep until around 9, get up, have a drink of water, contacts out, and back to sleep until wake up time next day. I think I am still battling sickness.

Yesterday was present day. Sorta, still had to pay for part of it. The new uniforms for team Total Sports the Bike Shop came in. Went, got my kits, got my derailer hangers(for the new mtb, to replace the one that lasted about 5 seconds before i crashed). I had dropped off my car to get some work done on it before I head off to the south, and i was on a road bike. It may not have been the brightest of ideas to buy all this stuff while on a road bike. So I got a bag from mark, and road home with a big bag of stuff in it hanging off my road bike.

Cleaned up, started packing(so as I write this, there is a giant pile of clothes as I am trying to decide what to take) and had some lunch. Got a text, car was done, so I thought sweet, lets both do a test on the mountain bike, and the new kit. So I rode the snowmobile trails(half ice, half slush, half mud, half super dry....kinda like man bear pig), into midland, well atleast until the top of baseline, and took balm beach rd the rest of the way. I like the kits, shorts are longer then i like, though I am sure I will get used to them, or get mad one day and just trim them. Who knows.

So today is finish packing, clean up my mess, clean up my car day. Then I head off to the big smoke(toronto) to watch the sold out jays home opener. Crash at my buddies condo, then point my car in a southernly direction for about 14 hours on saturday.

Hopefully stu will get his road bike this weekend, so i can pickup my new frame from him. It would be ballin to have a newish bike for down south. Especially because my BB on my road bike now is torched.
