a nice weekend
it was a good weekend - we managed to get quite a bit done around the house, do some fun things and have some down time so i would say it was successful.
friday night was cal's fun night. like i recently mentioned, good things with a toddler usually end badly and this was no exception. he wanted to continue to play and explaining that they were closing did not help. we met up with his friend at culvers afterward for a reward for the parents (and i guess little ones). a great night.
saturday we were up and at 'em bright and early since cal doesn't believe in sleeping in. while extra sleep is nice getting up early on weekends isn't bad because it extends the time you have. we had a nice leisurely breakfast and then headed to our local coffee roaster for a little added coffee. i was able to get out for 1.5 hours on the bike at dusk, finishing in the dark. i made bread saturday night which was used sunday morning for french toast. errands, more riding and 'the big game' rounded out the day.
i was also able to work some on the motobecane single speed conversion. it is mostly ready - i need to get the chain (minor detail) and put the finishing touches on (bar tape, swap out tires, etc.) but it should be complete by the end of the week. i'm excited to try it out - hopefully my gearing calculations are correct. for now i'm going with a 36x16 or 36x14 set up since i will mostly be using it mostly for roads/rail trails. later in the fall i'm envisioning switching to 36x18 or 36x20 when it becomes a back up cross racing machine.
training summary:
m: 1:00 (trainer)
t: 0:45 (run)
w: 1:00 (trainer, w/ 1 let pedal drills)
r: 1:00 (trainer)
f: 0
s: 1:30 (road ride outdoors)
n: 1:30 (road ride outdoors)
total: 6:45
that is a pretty solid week for early feb for this guy.
happy monday.
