Lazy... I think not!

Just because you didn't get a blog update the last two weekends
does not mean that I have been sitting on my butt. On the contrary I have just been to tired to write this blog!

Well weekend before last my friend Kelly and I went to Baytown to ride. We side tripped into Fayetteville to drop off the dogs and have dinner with my family. Kelly's in-laws live in Baytown so we had a nice little place to lay our heads on Friday and Saturday night. Saturday was such a beautiful day, no better way to spend it besides on a bike! It was the Baytown YMCA Gator Ride. 43 miles latter I had a bike short tan that all of you would envy. That was by far one of the most fun rides I have done yet. We rode out passed teh San Jacinto monument, then passed the Battleship of Texas, and finally took a ferry across the bay. After the ride we stopped at a wing joint for a rewarding pitcher of beer (to replace the salt we'd lost).

On Sunday we headed back to Fayetteville to catch a riding clinic. Why I continue to punish myself weekend after weekend is beyond me! I wish I didn't love it so much. The clinic was pretty cool. We did a lot of hill training. Normally 20 miles of hills would have been okay, but not after 43 miles the day before. I have a lot of training to do before the MS 150!

Speaking of the MS150, I did my first training ride with my team. We rode out of Columbus. I think there were about 800 riders there. My dad and sister helped out at the first rest stop so that was cool to ride up and see them. Plus as an added bonus I did hear "on your left" a lot as people passed me up, but I got to say "on your left" to other people. So I am not riding at the end! Rock On!
