Another Sunday "off" and another ride up in the hills. Joe Brenner and I headed out from the Wash Park area to Golden, up Golden Gate and through Crawford Gulch. A couple of observations . . . don't stop for water at the Golden Gate Park Visitor's Center, it is terrible tasting water even when delicately aged and mellowed in the finest of water bottles . . . riding bikes is hard.
The truth of the second observation keeps rearing its ugly head time and time again. I guess it is a good reminder that racing takes a bit more than it used to and recovery doesn't happen so quickly. Yesterday's race wasn't too tough, but the legs could feel the efforts involved.
I think I am supposed to be using one of these weekend days without a race to do some yard work or something. I'll have to post a picture of the backyard some time. It has been a disaster and an embarassment for the past few years. Sad when you are afraid of what's back there and can't even let the dog roam free for fear of losing him.
