Weekends are for Training: Saturday Edition

After sleeping in until almost 7:00am (Woohoo!), Ryan and I had some breakfast, putzed around on the internet for a little while (I started working on a new look for this site, which, as of right now, is still somewhat “unfinished”), then headed out after 9:00 for a 4hr ride. Even though it was cloudy, temps were relatively mild (upper 40s!), so it was nice- we took a route up through Oakland and Lambert which ended up being 73 miles.
By the time we got home, cleaned up, had lunch, and stopped by RB’s Cyclery, it was dark outside! I realized on the way home just how much of my life is dedicated to this, and how lucky I am to be with someone who shares and understands the dedication…

But enough of that mushy stuff!

Tomorrow is the “Martin Luther Cross” fun race put on by some local guys who love CX, and advertized by our beloved lone pack of hipsters who run the FixMemphis site. Ryan and I will be going to race, then soon as we get home & get our feed on, will be heading out for another chilly 3.5 hours or so of riding. Looks like it’ll be another full day on the bike! I should be in full zombie mode again by the time I get to the end of my 3 hour ride on Monday…
