Well today was the Crank the Kanc ride and even though I was signed up for it, unfortunately I was unable to race in it. Ohh well, it was about 43 degrees at 830 and looked like tons of rain. Sitting inside seemed like the better option. So Kelly and I took Campy to the local pet store, Four your Paws Only, for puppy hour. It was a good time and it let her meet and mingle with a bunch of other dogs. After that, I figured since I couldn’t do the race this morning, I set off on the mountain bike to but some hurting on myself. I did about 2 hours 45 minutes and the big climb was the Cranmore Ski Mountain access road. Sure its no Kanc, but its a pretty good climb and certainly steeper in some areas. After the almost 3 hour ride, I must say that I am pretty tired, as I haven’t been on a bike in over a week. Now my sights are on the 24 hour race. It is time to put some serious training hours. I need to dig out the lights and head out after work for a couple hours. I just need to find some more trails in this area for me to do a long training ride instead of always riding the same stuff over and over, and then stringing them together for a long ride.
Something I took notice to today. I woke up at 6:30 am to take the dog out to pee and when she was done, she was not going back to sleep. So there I sat searching through my channels to find something to watch. Just a little hint for you all out there. 6:30 am on a Saturday morning, there is absolutely nothing on Tv, even with my 20 channels.
