Those bikes never came in the house the whole weekend. From when we loaded them on Friday till when we pulled them down Sunday afternoon, they were out for riding the whole time.
Friday, we headed out to PLRA for a lap with Mike, Kim and The Sherp. Our riding has been minimal the past few weeks, so the trail proceeded to kick my ass. But, it was fun to ride that trail again, and I really need to make an effort to ride it more often.
Saturday, we visited Stony, and just did a nice easy lap. It was hot, and obvious to both of us that we haven’t been properly hydrating, so we suffered. But, it was great to spin the legs two days in a row.
Sunday, we went out and parked at one of the Bald Mountain lots, and did both loops of Bald Mtn and did a lap of Addison Oaks too. Just a snort under 20 miles it total. Weather was perfect, and the trails were in great shape! Excellent ride.
So, we got out and rode all three days. And, we vegged a good amount of time too. Caught up on some TV and movies, and relaxed. Friday night, we were able to have a drunk chat with Jessica in Germany. It’s been far too long since I’ve spent some time with her while she was a few sheets to the wind. I miss that.. But, I have a feeling that we’ll be spending plenty of time under one influence of the other in Amsterdam in October!
All in all, exactly what I needed this weekend. Work had been stressing the past few weeks, and I needed a good reset.
I think it was exactly what Marty needed too!
