endeavors
Anyway....we rode the green and when we got to the step-up towards the end I hammered it home again. This time I managed to leave Tom on flat....not by much...but I was pushing as hard as I could and I can be fast....well.....sorta fast....hehe. Overall just a good day at the fort!
Today I hit the hill ride. I did turn off to avoid the monster hill that almost killed me last time and I think I actually ended up climbing more, but I feel pretty good. Tomorrow will be a rest day pulling the girls and taking the big kids for a ride....at a nice easy pace.

Father's Day
As you can imagine I was ready to ride some trails after 80 road miles. Ryan decided that he wanted to try his hand at the dirt and we headed out. We rode the Red loop first. Good. We rode the Green loop.........good......well......yeah we will go with good. Ryan did an awesome job. He rode the first 16 miles with no problems. We would stop for a second at the tops of the longer climbs, but other than that he did good. Jody was with us too and she suggested riding the race course so we could go thru the river. I say river because it was DEEP. The cold water felt really good but the wet socks....not so much. Anyway.....we got a few miles in and Ryan stopped.....got off his bike and said "that is gonna cramp"...which it nearly did. I knew we still had about 5 miles left of the ride so he turned off and headed back to the trailhead by road. Jody and I continued to the Red and finished a short time after. Well...I say short time...Jody was done before I was...she is really fast......and on a single speed.
Overall it was an awesome day on the trail....just under 28 miles of fast fun singletrack. After riding we headed home and to a Father's day party at my in-laws'. Ate my weight in macaroni and taco salad...then came home to relax. Just a good day with good friends and family!
