Mountain biking

As I approach middle-age, something about spending hours on my butt making a chain go around and around gets more and more appealing...

Riding

I took a road ride with Joe today. Great day for riding despite the rain early on. I'm sore from dancing on Wednesday night, and my face doesn't look great, but the ride was a good one nonetheless. Joe wanted to go for two hours, so I got him to come here and we did my standard route, but continued straight on 157, turning on Knox Cave Road. What a beutiful, fantastic road. It adds some climbing, but some great twisty drops, too. Very nice. We came out on Thatcher Park road all the way down where it meets route 443. That's a pretty good spot, but there is a huge hill to climb. So, yeah, I felt good enough to put in my fastest average time yet. I did draft for a couple of sections, but feel like I did it on my own for the most part.
I found that on downhills without pedaling I was going a bit faster than Joe . This made me feel good about it until I realized that it's probably gravity pulling harder on my body than it does on Joe's. Oh well.
