driveway laps

another ride home in the rain last night. at least it was a warm rain this time. it's funny, it is more surprising to me when the weather predictors are correct than when they are wrong. they were correct yesterday. normally, wednesdays are my night to do some extra riding but that was foiled. cx practice was cancelled and i wasn't too keen on gunking up my mtb. so i did a few driveway laps to make sure it was shifting well and i'm good to go. i'm sure the new derailleur cable will stretch during the race and give me trouble but oh well.

we opted for chipotle for dinner and then got calvin his requested halloween costume (a shark). he could wear a garbage bag and be cute as the dickens. anyway, once he was in bed i made a batch of bread dough. i haven't made bread since the beginning of the summer and i'm looking forward to fresh warm bread with dinner.

a rest day today (planned). my legs have felt tired all week thus far so hopefully this will improve on that. i might take a couple days off next week following a 3 - 3.5 hours of racing weekend. i'm not racing next weekend - kind of a little mid season recuperation period.

happy thursday.
