here we go
so, i think i'm going to do the wors race in wausau this weekend. i'm contemplating which class i should ride....
1) i haven't done a wors race since eau claire in 2008 (comp)
2) i haven't ridden my mountain bike once this year
3) the timing of the sport race works much better than the comp race
so this begs the question.... is it ok to ride sport under the circumstances above? i'm leaning towards yes...
what a great long weekend. friday, daycare was closed so we had "boys night" (that is what cal calls it regardless of time of day). we went to the zoo, ran some errands and then robin got done early as well. a few more errands and a bike ride to boot! i lied, i rode my mtb for abour 20 minutes on friday until i realized that the sealant wasn't holding air, headed back home and then finished the ride on my cx bike. saturday, it was breakfast and farmers market and then a couple of plant stores. home and put in the garden and mowed/cleaned up. i ran for an hour on the ice age trail and the uw cross country course.
sunday was another big yard day. r filled the planter on the front porch a while i installed a backyard planting bed project we've been thinking about for a few years. i wanted to ride but opted to finish the project and by the time i did it was raining and i was pretty beat. after nap, we decided spur of the moment to go back to the bruce company for another bush, came back home and ripped out an ugly willow bush and planted the newbie. i spent some time installing/swapping tires on my bikes and was pretty beat by the end of the day.
yesterday i had opportunities to ride but just didn't' have the motivation. this plays into probably leaning towards sport this weekend as well. we picked pain colors for two bathroom projects i'll be doing while robin and cal are away next week. we went to brat fest but it was cold and rainy so we ate them in the car. then, we ended the weekend with ice cream and mario kart (the latter was per calvin's request).
an now, here i am back at it. short weeks are the best...but long weekends are even better!\
happy tuesday.
