Weekly Training

Today was a great day of road riding. Didn't push hard but a solid pace.

Got a good 15 miles in and biked to the top of Holy Hill. Which was not as hard as i thought it would be?!?!?The view was defiantly worth it though!

After that took Hogs back home which was a good finish.

Rain

As the rain started to trickle in i was a little disopointed. Was hoping to get out and get the feel of my new Moto Rapido frame. looks like wendsday will be the day for that.

Trek 100

As the trek 100 began it was unbelievable seeing people file in. After I got out on the road you could see miles of riders which was so cool. It was also warm and dry. The country side was gorgeous and all the farm land and animals where really neat to see as well. In the first twenty five miles it was only drizzling a little and I only had one minor crash. Other than that, it was a breeze. The next thirty miles got colder and rainier. I was wet, cold and biking. Not too happy. As the miles progressed so did the rain and the cold. It got to a point where I couldn't feel my hands or feet because I was so wet. Thank goodness there was a maintenance worker that had latex gloves which kept my hands dry but not warm. As Keaton, his brother, Justin, and I reached the one mile marker, I felt like I could fight anything, no matter what the situation. Now I have an idea what it is like for those who have cancer and how they fight a brutal fight every day for their lives. They don't stop because of the obstacles in the way or they don't say they don't feel like taking medicine today because their too tired. They fight until they win and I give much love and respect for those who do fight for there lives.
