Rain, Rain 
Well, No Waway yesterday. The rains came in and washed out any hopes of a ride. The mountain bike club at Vernon HS was disappointed, but with thunder and lightning looming over head everyone understood. Today's weather looks good for a little road ride.
In other news tomorrow is the last day of school
<-- Bill
Maybe a little Waway on Friday.
peace.

Hump Ride Sat 7am
It is not what it sounds like.
It is called the hump because the ride passes a camel farm in NY. The ride is generally fast and starts in Florida, NY @ 8am.(old shop-rite parking lot near the D&D) mmmmm coffee. Avg speeds of 22-24 mph over hilly terrain. I haven't been out on the ride this year, but I wanted to get some speed work in as I approach the NJ State Championships. I'll be adding this saturday morning ride and start for the VTC in the months to come.
Peace.

Enjoy your summer solstice.

Weekend miles
Wow the hump ride was fast. It was the first big group ride i've done on the road this year. The group started out with about 2-dozen riders and by the time we hit Ridgrbury rd. There was only 5 of us left. I was hurting good and struggled to hold a wheel when getting back on after a pull. I probably pulled a little longer than I should have. The ride goes for about 34 miles and we averaged 24.5 mph which was one of the faster rides I've been on. It was a great workout.
Sunday was easy and I checked out some new VTC routes for the Summer.

Kittatinny Today
EABODS and I went over to Kittatinny today and rode the race course. It's mostly the same as last year except the bulldogs added the sweet bermed rythum section on the south end of the park to the course. I love that piece. My guess is that the top expert laps will be about 25 min. :hmmm:
I'm going to try and go over again on thursday for a MTB Ride with the Vernon HS MTB Club. 3-4 ish
Peace,

pissed on (and a little pissed off)
Man, what a week. My son has been sick since Monday and I have been doing my best to keep hydrated, taking vitamin C, and washing my hands. Last night I had a sore throat and today a cough. (bummer) I felt great riding Kittatinny and getting to know the course on Tuesday and Thursday, but I'll have to try and rest up and see if I can kick this thing by Sunday. Off today fo' sho' and maybe Saturday, but I've been looking forward to Stewarts and this race all year. So the plan is rest, TDS, JOGJ.
Somethings you just can't control. S a D

Sweet Sweet Sunday
I've been looking forward to this race for awhile. Mostly for revenge from last year, where I fell apart the last lap and dropped 3 spots. The week went well up until thursday when I caught my son's cold and ear infection.
Thanks to my wonderful wife who let me rest on Saturday and made me some chicken soup mmmmmmm.
It all worked out today and now sometime to chill by the pool.

VTC Tuesday 7/1
Well the spring H2H races are over, and I am really happy the way things went. I'm still suffering from a lingering cold, but VTC starts tomorrow and I should be ok for some easier riding for 70+ miles. I'm looking forward towards the fall. A little MTBing and alot of CX. EABODS and I will be doing some cross drills over the summer so stay tuned to what's going down and you are more than welcome to attend.
Peace,

Great. I've been wanting to meet Crack Addict and Mr Peabody, but didn't feel this ride was worth the effort to attend and now i find Norm went. That would,ve pushed me to attend, oh well, back to doing firewood...........
Ok good. I thought you went and i would've killed myself if i had missed it. The air up here this am tastes like pure horsepower and it would've been a sweet hammerfest..........

What a day!
74+ miles of back roads with a couple of stops for water was the plan for today. The weather cooperated as EABODS and I headed out around 9:10am. There was plenty of climbing, but nobody was going to throw down as this ride was about racking in the miles and having fun. The last climb of the day was a little tough, but everyone finished strong. Sandwiches, recovery bev., and a dip in the hot tub (maybe a nap later) was enough to kick things off right @VTC. Next planed stop is Split Rock on Thursday(around 10am maybe:hmmm, but I'll have to see how I feel since my cold seems to want to stay around. I might have done some damage today riding 74 miles with a sore throat and chough. S a D Peace out and keep riding. I love SUMMER !!!
