Washed both Bikes

April 22 2007

Spent Sunday in Ca., Loomis to be exact it was a full day of Volleyball.
We brought the bikes and snuck out for a little ride mid morning. Tan and I tried desperately to find dirt and all we kept finding was dead ends and peoples back yards.
We managed to get in 8 miles in around 50 minutes so it wasn't to bad . Ridding with my boy made it very enjoyable, it went by to fast.
We probably would, well I know we would have been gone much longer but we didn't bring any water with use. The conditions were wet from the rain last night . So needless to say were got muddy, that was fun.

Snissy played all day and her team came I second in the tournament, so that was good.
The ride home was not to bad it was snowing over the 8500 foot pass but we made it home in no time.

Man, finally got on my bike!

Same ride same workout cut out some of the fun parts of the ride due to time.
So I missed the two big hills on the south end of the ride and missed the climb and decent into Winnie Lake at the North end of my ride.
Total of 12 miles in 75 minutes Not breaking any records But happy to to be out there.

The city has contracted sheep on the west side of town to eat the grass for fire control so there is around 300 sheep hanging out right on the trail by the church on C hill. It is a kick riding though the flock or herd or what ever you call a bunch of dirty sheep. They run for there life's as you come up on them and split like the red sea. There is only one down fall of all this sheep chasing, and I found that out after my ride , lots of sheep S*#@ ! On the bottom of my seat, back of the frame. Time for a wash.

On another note I am looking for a good ride in Loomis Ca Sunday .
So I will keep you in the Loop.

Didn't even get on my bike today.
(Except for the test ride on my CFM)
I picked up my Cadex from the shop.
It was tuned up and had new handle bars a post and grips put on it .
It looks great and rides alot better with the new gear.
As you can see it is a stiffy front and back .
So out on the trail it beats the crap out of you.
I might change the tires so I can use it for my road and urban ride.

I can't wait to RIDE tomorrow .
KEEP you in the LOOP

BROKE 100 miles on my new bike today.
I picked it up at the bike shop April 6Th. And I have been putting around 15 to 12 miles on it a day I missed a couple of days last week due to stuff I had to take care of.
I keep finding more dirt to ride on, around the west side of town.
I road for 115 minutes today and covered 16.2 miles. A lot of hills . Had to Walk up two of them , maybe by the end of summer I can make it up both of them without getting off my bike . We will see. I wear a Heart monitor during all my rides and I burnt 1569 Cal on today's ride .
On the V&T trail at the end of my ride I finally made it over the rocks I have been walking over for the past year so I am making progress. There is a reservoir at the top of Winnie Ln on the west side of town and it is empty so the incline is about 55 degrees and at the very end of my ride I bomb down it Its 10 second of pure Rush . I all most ate it when I hit the Sand . I screamed and saved it all at the same time .
WHAT a Rush.
Good Ride today!

Sunday April 15

Found more dirt today went all the way around C hill and back
