Apologies for not posting Friday. I took off early and went for a quick twenty-five mile ride, off to bed early, woke up extra early and took an epic sixty-five mile jaunt around the single track. Woke up early Sunday had a killer breakfast and then, being a bit tired from the Saturday ride, took a short twenty or so mile ride.
OK, now that I've got that b.s. out of the way...
My weekend sucked! It was a case of getting out late Friday in the grayest rainy skies I've seen in a year, rain, and just overall crappy. Got home it was arguably too dark to ride, and there were errands that HAD to be run. Wound up hitting bed at 2:00 AM, woke up at about 10:00 AM, had so much of my day spoken for that by the time I got outside and looked around the street lights were coming on. I did manage to get a ride in Sunday, but it was only about ten or so miles before it got dark. It did feel good to get out though, and I managed to clean a hill on the first shot that when I looked down it looked a lot steeper than it felt going up it. I hope that this is a sign of what's to come. I managed to get around enough to gauge hills and trails and stuff, just enough to make goals for myself. I have an idea of what I want to accomplish this year, so I guess thats at least one good thing. For starters, I'm back into the high 190's, don't know how the hell that happened. OK, so it's been a series of parties, and crappy food at said parties. So right now goal one is to drop the last twenty-some pounds to get down to my previously aforementioned 170 pound goal. Once I get to 170, I'll reevaluate the weight and see if I want, er, need to lose more.
I also have an idea of what hills I want to be able to clean, how strong I'd like to get, things like weightlifting and such to build upper body strength. All of this in due time. I hope to be a new man by summers end.

Can we say beer. Can we say empty calories.
No beer for one month Phun are you on?

Oh, I'm on... I'm on. I actually haven't had any beer in a while, and my first initial 5-10 pounds were not much more than cutting out beer. However, as a hobby I used to brew beer, so I enjoy beer, really good really expensive micro brew type beer. As a matter of fact the only thing I liked more was my home-brew, and one of my buddies homemade wine. Regardless, I stopped brewing to lower the likelihood of my drinking what I brew; not here, I can't drink it, right? But I had a moment of weakness, and it was like all the adults brought something good to drink, so we did.
Any rate, I'm quite content cutting it back out.
Ok Phun one month. First race is May 4th so a beer after with the guys.

And yeah I like the expensive microbrew stuff too. Think of all the bike gear you can buy.
