On the Mend
Well I'd like to say that I'm officially on the mend. The last two days I've been putting in some good miles and getting a taste of what winter is going to be like. Apparently the mountains get too cold to really ride all the way up to the top and most people spend their time in the flatlands of Colorado. Well riding the flats is exactly what I have been doing. Wed. I found myself riding to Ft. Collins and back. Due to time/light constraints the ride turned into somewhat of a well... 80 miles TT of sorts. I went out kinda hard but found that the sun was setting faster than I anticipated. The ride itself was no biggie in terms of views etc. It was really just quality riding without the other stuff that makes riding fun.
However riding back had a somewhat nice view, too bad I was too blown to really enjoy it.
Yesterday Bryan and I decided to go on another long road ride. We ended up riding out to Carter Lake. It was a better ride than the previous days venture. Better roads, not as much traffic slightly less time constraint. Did I mention that T-Brown came along?
Oh wait that's just Bryan.
The ride was fun. I think I've made Bryan into a pro at the stop ahead sprints. However I still won due to my shenanigans...like sprinting when he has a bottle in his hand etc. The ride going well and I was getting excited about seeing the infamous Carter Lake.
But uh....I was expecting something a little better than this:
We headed down to the boat ramp to see where the party was at but didn't find much..
Bryan got sooo excited he blew snot all over himself while he was on the phone with his mom telling her how awesome Carter Lake was:
The ride home was filled with more sprints and of course my biweekly bloody nose. It was quite a romantic ride home. Even though Bryan took us the back way with the most stop ahead signs...jackass!
On my way in the door I saw the little devils that lurk in the night all around my dorm.
This weekend is Grand Junction. I'm still on antibiotics but feeling much better. Hopefully it will be more fun than the past two weekends. Alright well I'll update when I get back.
