3 hour ride on a skills course on Sunday, up some steep long hills and then down some steep gravelly descents. My first ever river crossing!
wet feet and big fun
Then some more decent training, some sessioning on big woodland steps then down a really rooty dark cool wooded section, lovely on such a sunny day. Then another gravelly, rocky descent to a river crossing but i took the bridge cos it looked too deep for me. Then back a couple of k on a nice sweeping curvy track practising efficient cornering and traction through the exits.
Brilliant fun!Marin Rift Zone 1999 - Manitou Rear Shock - Marzocchi SuperComp Bombers on the front.

I had a beautiful 3 hour ride, and I ended up riding with someone I met along the way. I love decent weather and new friendships!

I did another 21-mile ride, same as last week. I just love that Salado Creek Greenway and am so impressed that such a nice little trail is smack-dab in the middle of my city.
It was a beautiful day and everyone was waving and saying hello to each other. Definitely a feel-good day.
I had a little bit of a bummer when I got home and discovered that my long-sleeve Nike tennis shirt (pre-dates Dri-Fit) had gone missing. I took it off and slipped it under the bungee cords on my rack, but it must have escaped somewhere along the way home. I've had that shirt forever and I just love it. Sigh.
(I may drive the route today to see if I can find it on the side of the road.)
EDIT: Found it! I hope it'll wash out...it wasn't grey initially.

This was my last ride for a while, as I'm having knee surgery tomorrow.
Our LBS had a 20% off the Super-Duper Tune Up sale going on, so I rode William down and dropped him off. I figure that the less temptation the better for a while. . . (No, I didn't walk home, DH picked me up at the LBS.)
Anyway, it was a lovely ride down the bike path. I was feeling the knee, so I was being passed by turtles and snails, not to mention people with walkers and small children, but it felt good to get out on a nice Sunday afternoon. Did I mention I was riding slowly?
Ah well, it was a ride, and I'm glad it was a good one, if rather shorter and slower than I would have wished.Give big space to the festive dog that make sport in the roadway. Avoid entanglement with your wheel spoke.
