Wittyness eludes me!

So, I can't come up with a witty title.. With that I will dive right in. Saturday was a cold day after having spent the better part of 4 days in Florida but I needed to get out and ride. I decided to just do a 13.5 mile based on the fact that I knew the wind would be horrible on the barrier islands. My 21mph avg going east into Stone Harbor fell to 18 as I turned North and stayed there as I turned back South. I managed to keep it there as I headed west back towards my house and as the temperature dropped. The good news is that my lungs are now fairly acclimated to the colder weather and I don't have a problem from that angle as of now. The bad news is that I am still not good in wind, I need to get more used to being alone in the wind now.




After the ride Shannon and I made a pizza (well...bought the ingredients for pizza) and then Nat, Pete, and Cassie came over to hang out for the night, it was great fun and we ended up making some flour-less chocolate cakes, those turned out amazing.
Sunday morning Pete, Drew and I went for a mountain bike ride down in Lizard Tail, but it was cut short due to some downed trees and Pete not feeling upto it.




Sunday night was a bonfire at Pete's house, but that also ended early and resulted in another night at my house to play Forza and watch Dexter!



A late night for everyone involved. This morning I woke up and decided to attend a spin class for some fun and to change it up. So I spent the day mostly stretching and hydrating, I had been under hydrated having spent the past week in Disney and really felt it on both of the previous days rides... At the spin class I finally tried the Lemon-Lime flavor of SDM and it was great, very lightly flavored, but still distinct and very natural. If I am going to do much more spinning I really need to get a second pair of shoes with SPD cleats, I absolutely hate clips/straps on pedals and always either slip out or they hurt the bottom of my feet.

And now I am off to do a bit of training on the rollers before bed, tomorrow I need to travel to the post office, the bank and do a few other errands.

Until we meet again!
