Ponytails and Arm Warmers

My wife looks great all done up in a dress with heels but something about this look I really like.  A ponytail, sleeveless with arm warmers. 

My Favorite Race

If I had to pick, it would be the Friday morning AF canyon group ride.  It's a ride but it always ends up being a race.  A weeks worth of bragging rights among friends is better than any podium.  This race includes the KOM, regroup, followed by a crazy fast, twisty descent for the sprint at the guard shack.  In short, it has something for everyone.  Don't feel like hammering the climb?  No problem.  You can save your legs and try for the sprint.  But if you are feeling good, go for both. 

And with the Kneaders at the base of the canyon.  For $5 you can enjoy all you can eat french toast and pancakes with a side of trash talk.

Early Lessons

My son plays competitive soccer.  Tryouts are coming up.  He is 9 going on 10.  A few weeks ago I took him outside and said "Son, sometimes you gotta fight to be a man".  And we played real soccer.  The dirty kind that nobody likes to talk about.  I think it will help him make the team.

KOM

If you are on Strava, you know what this is:

It's the KOM icon.  They are not easy to get.  But oh so satisfying when you do.

Wed in Corner Canyon

I Tried Strava, Tasted Metal, And Turned It Off

I tried Strava today.  I picked the steepest, hardest climb I know of- The Waterford climb (Foothill).  I pushed myself so hard I tasted metal.  Got to the top of the segment, and turned it off.  I'm not sure I like riding against the clock like that. 

Jon R., Dan Z., Rico, Bagley, Brandon, Dave G., Ben B. Aaron S., Mark A., and all you fast UC guys....Tag you are it.  3:15 is the time to beat.  I have no idea who this Montague dude is but I don't want to meet him.  Crazy fast.
