I’ve been riding a lot lately. But, I’m not really much on writing, so I’ve been letting this blog kinda fall apart. So, I’ll sum it all up like this. During the week, I’ve been putting in 15-16 mile rides at lunch, but finishing off the week with 60 milers. This week, I actually stepped it up a bit and put in 70 on Saturday.

It was so windy, that it wasn’t even funny! 20 mph winds can really take a lot out of you. But, I had a friend from work come out to Lawrence, so we pushed through it for a good ride. We started by doing the Muffin with the group, only we were much slower than the guys I normally ride with. On the way back, one of the newer riders was bonking at the barn. So, I turned back and picked him up. Basically, I stayed in front of him the whole way back so he didn’t have to face the full force of the wind.

After we got back to the park, Keith and I headed north out of town. Was a good ride. We turned off at the Perry exit and headed south. From there, we turned west and headed around Clinton lake. Was a very good time, and a nice prep ride for next week. Next week is the Octoginta, so it should be fun!
