summer weather ride on monday
i already had a road ride planned. the weather was a bonus.
the idea was for at least 2 hours but more as time, mind, and body allowed. the total.. just over three hours (50 miles and some change). that's right. i finally broke over 200 miles on my serotta nove.
i rode through town out 11 to mountain pass road. once on the parkway, i headed back towards town knowing i could vary the ending with how i felt. with some extra water, i made it to poage valley underpass and descended back into town.
Thanks to Mark of North Carolina. Mark was in town for a meeting and getting some parkway miles on his Campy equipped Trek 5200 with freshly added FSA compact carbon cranks. Anyhow, running low on H2O, I spied Mark's gallon of water as he was loading up his gear. He graciously shared some water and bicycle conversation.
Speaking of Mark's... the fire monkey was missed today.

I did ride.. in shorts and short sleeves
It's 21:45 (quarter to ten for some folks). I'm just finishing up my nite ride :-)
Nothing like a little Mill Mountain Trail action on a warm March Friday nite.
The ride was especially great since I managed to exercise the ghost shifting that haunted last Tuesday's Noodle Salad - Nite Owl ride.
The nite air, the view, the rush of air, brush of trees, howling of the red wolves of the zoo...
maybe only a 29'er might have made it better.
hmmm.... well maybe a big steak omelette too. (the leprichaun can through down some food.)

the birds...
I should be riding my bike right now. Maybe tonight.
Anyone else notice the increase in bird actitivity?
Either spring is here or Alferd Hitchcock needs to get his cameras ready.
