finally, some bike riding.

(photo by Ben) isn't it funny how, whatever i name a blog, it's a coffin nail for that passtime? the old blog was about knitting, which i do very little of. and this one is called "slow bike" and look at how often i bother with biking these days...

anywho, it's true. my first trip to Palos for the year. (Yes, I know, it's July.) I talked Ben into taking me out for a slow ride to practice jumps n' stuff, and that's sorta what we did. A last minute call from some friends meant we were 4 instead of 2 and I didn't want to hold the group back, so it was a little less practice-y than I hoped. I still need to work on the ravines, though. Either way, we did re-do's on log piles until I didn't wimp out anymore, and it was a good time. AND it counts as cross training, a good capstone to a 30 mile running week.

Big weekend coming up. Saturday the ladies will be out at Blue Mound. This Sunday is the time trial- registered yet? I'm totally going to rock it... um, yeah. Probably not. But come beat me and drink my beer at least, ok?
