Started out with the Friday rush at work and as busy as it was I put the hammer down and made it home just before Craig got into town. We had this weekend planned since early February and I was really looking forward to it. Bike work was the main focus and it started as soon as I got back from my strength workout at the Ymca, and lasted until about 11p.m. Up the next morning and back at it again with a trip to the bike shop for some parts to put my new fork on. I'm just waiting on some other parts for my MTB and upon completion it will have lost a hefty 4-5pounds. Craig calls it my elite racing machine. (With my bike and I each down 4lbs from last season I will have 8 less to carry up those hills!!)
Didn't get out to ride until about 11a.m. but with the nice weather and Harley/Hoyt trails dry enough to ride, Craig and I had an awesome time. Next to the bread store for Craig, meeting with Josh North for WIN Racing (Wisconsin Nordic) ski team, to Joe's for a cook out then finally home to bed! At the cook out we all decided on a group RR towards Waukesha. I was kinda bummed out about not getting Craig some more MTB time but what you gonna do, and besides the route is a good one and I always like spring road riding.
Of coarse there was business to attend to in the basement first with more bike work. Craig was up at 5a tallying up the completion list, and I followed by about 5:30. Couple cups of java and we were haulin. We did stop working to eat some breakfast, and get ready for our ride. I gotta give props to Lynn for all of the cooked meals and just plain working around two real rammy bro's. She hooked us up with all of our meals all weekend and even washed and filled water bottles.
With a 10a appointment with Joe we were dressed and headed out. Hung at his pad for a bit while him and Katie got ready and then hit the road. The weather was a bit colder but still the day was nice and we ended up with a little over three hours, and thanks to Joe I got some extra intervals in for the week. Not too hard with my awesome wheel sucking abilities though.

After our ride with Joe and Katie we headed home to lick our wounds, get some eats, and finish up some bike work. Craig packed it up and headed home and I was real happy to spend some quality time with him again. I have to say that with out all of the support I get from every one that helps me, the pursuit of my goals and dreams wouldn't be possible. So, THANK YOU Craig, Lynn, Joe, and everyone who helps me!!! My season is getting very close and I feel ready, poised, and willing to give this a go.
What a weekend! And remember to try today because tomorrow you might not get the chance....Peace.
I thank you for a good weekend of ridding and food. It was awesome!!!!!!!!
