He's Back on the Bike!

It was really rewarding to see Rob back on his bike again. The last time we rode together, as you recall, was a disaster and almost a tragedy. After waiting out the rain we headed out to the Little Blue Trace trail to check out the newest part of the trail. What we thought was going to be an additional 2.5 miles turned out to be four miles. The new trail is just terrific, with lots of shaded areas and enough turns and undulations to make it interesting. We figured that if one were to ride the entire length of the trail and back it would be right at 30 miles. This would be a great place to build endurance for long rides without working the hills just yet. One could ride the entire length of the trail twice and get a 60 miler in. At any rate, we rode 20 miles and called it good. Rob hasn't been on his bike for exactly two months and he was butt weary, so we called it quits. I was pretty much done as well since it was getting pretty warm. We rewarded ourselves with a healthy lunch of Buffalo Chicken Wings, onion rings and Diet Coke. Hey, you have your training food, we have ours!.........Mike
