Ok, so I’m starting to sound like an old record, but I have been putting in some long hours at the shop and I am not riding at my best. After I get through a busy day I just do not have the gas to hammer like I used to, so with that in mind I set out to do the ride to MT. Warner. It was a cool and windy day with partly cloudy skies when we left the shop at 6:00. There were 24 riders behind me as I led the group down High Street to Hope Street.

I just got back from S. Utah with B and her kids.  In addition to the Grand Canyon and Bryce Canyon, we spent several days in Springdale; just outside Zion National Park.  This wasn’t a mountain bike trip, but I did bring my shoes and helmet and managed to get a ride in at the world famous Gooseberry Mesa.  This would be my third trip to Zion (recounting the trips as a child and also as a college student).  Zion is an amazing place with great hikes and spectacular scenery.

We have had such a long run of absolutely beautiful weather which continued for our ride tonight. Although it was sunny and warm it was also very windy. We left the shop at 6:00 with a large group and headed down High Street. I led the group at a pretty brisk 20 mph pace over to Hope Street where we took the usual route down to 5&10. Once out on the highway, I slid to the back of the group as we rolled over to River Road.

I have been working on getting the new shop done and that has been a pretty daunting task. I was pretty tired today at 6:00 ride time but I decided to give the Cave Hill ride a try. There was a large group and we left to head over to Turners Fall a little after 6:00. I led the group over to Turners and started up the Seventh Street Hill in the lead. I made it most of the way up to the top of L Street before the group came around me. At the top of the hill I was riding with Jamie at the back of the pack and at the end of Montague Street I did my usual XC shortcut across the back of the fire station and ended up on the front of pack as we pedaled by the cemetery hill. I quickly came off the front and headed for the back of the bunch again.
