I think I've said it before, but summer is not really my season. Although I got a few really nice rides with friends, alot of kiddie rides, and managed the time to maintain my bike, summer is hard to keep the rhythm of a regular workout. That said, I don't feel like I've lost fitness. And I've spent more really good days with my kids, and that's more important than anything.
September's a few days away, and when school is back in session I'll resume my Wed am ride, and at least one other morning during the week.
The Landmine Classic and NembaFest are less than two weeks away, and we just had a great trail work day at Wompy to ensure that the trails were ready.....
It's still freakin' HOT! So it's not over, yet........

Today's Doubleheader
It's freakin'hot! So to the beat the heat, I started my Blue Hills ride at 7 am. Early by most standards, but a necessity for some of us......
Up Coon Hollow, down the access road. Up the ski-slope , down the access road 1/2 way, to just above the Wolcott to Border trail for a nice long cruising down.
Didnt do much of the South side , riding alone to me is boring. A church needs a congregation....Although I did bump into my friends from Dave's Bike Infirmary who were bouncing down Coon Hollow.......
An hour and a half was more than enough of that.
So I figured since I have all morning to kill--wife & kids are gone for two days--what better way to celebrate this newfound freedom than to continue riding. I found myself on the highway heading for Wompy, where I knew there was a group ride in session, and 'maybe' I'd find them. No sooner did I pull in that a new aquaintance of mine arrived to ride solo, a fairly new rider, so we teamed up and I showed him some of the finer Wompy trails on the left side.
Another hour and a half of swimming through the hot humid air--actually not bad compared to driving in the shite--we were cooked.
Don't really know wht tha point of this post was, and it's to freakin hot to sit here and type while I could be relaxing in the kiddie pool, so that's it!
