RIDE-Coffee-RIDE-Burgers-RIDE

Rode the east and west river road trails this Sunday with Josh. We rode a total of 24 miles with a stop at the Angry Catfish for coffee and a stop at ... Hmmm. I can't remember the name. Anyway, we had burgers at a pub over by St. Thomas and then rode back downtown where we started.

Weekend Rides

I have been turning up the dial on the weekend rides. My goal is to get out once every weekend until spring arrives. I am three weeks into it and not minding the cool weather grinds. Last Saturday I rode my 17 mile loop with the Zion SS. It is relativly flat, but the whole trail was snow covered. It ended up being a good workout. This weekend should see different conditions with the short thaw this week.

I am down in St. Louis and it is going to be 75 degrees today. Not a bad little break from the cold and snow.

Downhill skied with Max on Sunday, and the week before as well. Seems like good cross training, but the hills in Minnesota are pretty short. I can't really get the legs burning with such a short run. Max has discovered the art of bombing down the hill at full tilt. He a little speed freak. Josh is learning to snowboard...
