Friday and Saturday I was lucky enough to squeeze in a couple rides on the road.  Here is the report:

Friday I went to turn on my garmin and the battery was DEAD, so I had to go without a gps.  I hate riding without a gps.  Click here to see the route I took:

I felt great until I hit the south side of Suncrest.  There was a nasty headwind and a carrot about 1/4 mile ahead.  This poses a question “if you see a carrot are you obligated to catch it?”  I feel a detailed post is in order about this topic.  Over the winter the pain of climbing Suncrest fades away, and Friday was the wake up call.  I did however catch my first carrot of the year.

Saturday JDub, the recently shaved OsamaBright, Adam, and Jared met at my place at noon.  The plan of attack was to Pine Hollow in AF Canyon and back.  Some of the group made it to Pine Hollow, as you can see from my data I did not.  This poses a question “If you invite someone who is having a bad day and they get dropped on your favorite route, what is your responsibility as the invitee?”  If you are interested in the data here it is:

I love AF Canyon.  It is a very constant grade on the climb and a screaming fast downhill.  Everything was great until that Suncrest hill.  After climbing the canyon my legs were cooked, but slowly managed to limp home.  BK when do I get the new Carborocket formulation? Rick  my MASHer made its debut and I loved it!

It is so good to have the snow mostly melted and riding outdoors.  I have caught the bug and like a drug addict am trying to get my next riding fix.
