The wind and hills felt like hell, a cool windy hell where only my legs burn. Especially right off the go. The legs were needing some help and I didn't have anything for them. James, Corey, MikeyB, Kris, and I were rolling today. Good showing! That first 7 miles don't look like much, but good god that headwind was a bitch. I don't remember that downhill though. I do remember that long uphill from 9 to 15 miles.

James and I took off on the last 6 miles and pushed it a little harder. We didn't really mean to, we just looked back and everyone was dropped. Sorry, we were just doing a bunch of talking and climbing. :(


There was a roadie on a bright bike ahead and he saw us coming up quick and took off about 500 meter ahead of us. Somebody said some crap to James and I, I missed it but James wanted to catch up with him and chew him out. He hit a red light about 2 kilometers up Cedar Ave.


We pushed it hard but the light turned green and he was gone. We hit the light and looked left. The roadie was just pulling up. We toasted him when we were trying to catch that car. Poor sucker, I am sure he did like 100km that day but what a blow, you get overtaken by a soccer player and a fat boy both on mountian bikes with buzzing tires on the pavement. Made me feel good though.

In other news, Easter was good, I am glad we got to see the nephew, he was having a great time. I was tossing around and all he could say was more and up. He is getting big and heavy. His second birthday is coming up quick, what the hell do you get a 2 year old? Easter was also his grandpa(my dad)'s birthday. He only has 50 years on Derek. :) My sister was sick so Derek came with grandpa, and he is a darn good kid so far. I think my sister lucked out.


I have a sports filled week coming up, today was bikey, tomorrow is basketball and more bikey, Wednesday is bikey if it is nice out, else gym, Thursday is softball practice, and Friday is Anne in town so maybe a nice little bike ride. I love the busy season. :)
