Summer points

So if I go on the Tuesday night ride, and follow it up with a Wednesday night ride, Do I get points?

Piling It On!

The weather forecast looks like S@#T again. It is almost like the weather is testing me to see if I'm points worthy. I have to say it is pretty hard to be motivated to ride in this crap but I may just do so. So pile it on... @!~@$#@$##^

Forwards and Backwards

Hell Of The North ride for me this weekend both forwards and backwards. 48 mile route with a list of nasty little climbs. Saturday Chad and I rolled it into the wind and on Sunday I rode earlier in order to get the same route in again prior to the rain. Fortunately I made it back just as it was starting to sprinkle. It isn't an easy route no matter how you ride it and rain would have made it really tough at this time of year.



One thing about the roads this year is that they are far more bumpy than in the past. I actually had to stop several times today to try and fix the mount for my computer because it was bouncing off from the road vibration. I eventually put it in my pocket.



















The photo of this hill doesn't do it any justice. It is the middle section and the grade is actually pretty steep here. There is about a third below where the photo is taken and another third out of site. Good rides for the weather and getting ready for the season.

First Niner Ride

A veritable onslaught of town was had with big wheels this weekend. Resulting in a climb up many hills. Descending Apple Blossom Drive pedaling in high gear against the wind resulted in only 28 mph. No hard man points. I real hard man would have gotten up to at least 35 mph.

Fornicate and Forget

Can you feel the energy? April 1st and warm weather is around the corner, or so I hope. I've officially called an end to the cold air and snow for this season.
So on April Fool's day I could do the normal and come up with some story about how the wind and cold have eaten away my will to ride but nothing is further from the truth. Instead we put in an 80 miler on Saturday in a windy cool day. Monday absolutely sucked and I have to say if I were being paid to ride it would have been a short one...
Does this mean an end to the points for the season. Absolutely not! Just because it is warmer doesn't mean a true hard man forgets the bite of the cold.
