Last Saturday was a most brutal of bike rides. A 70-mile adventure highlighted by 30 mph headwinds and a head-to-head competition with David N. who was top-5 overall in the recent WBL series. The man is flying right now and he took me to my limit while crushing a dozen other strong riders along the way. He is looking to join my team and wanted to show me what he's got. I signed him up.
Sunday Doug and I went around the 60-mile Walton County loop. Again, pretty windy conditions but I finished in good shape. Doug struggled toward the end after spending the first part of the ride on the front while I tried to find my legs.
Monday was a walk around the Ravine loop with the canine critters. They love to go for a ride and a walk, only one thing is better, going camping. I'm watching the weather and work/race schedule, don't want to miss that window of opportunity for a night in the mountains.
Tuesday was 25-35 mph winds again and Doug came out for the 35-mile Blackjack loop, but he cut it short heading back in before the climb up Blackjack Road. It was really gusty up on the top of Blackjack but the ride back home was with a howling tailwind and made for a great finish.
