month end

I drove to Eugene today to pick up a pair of Zipp 404's for my FC 508 "climbing bike", thus shaving off a few more grams. By the time I got that done, and a visit to a bike shop for new tires to mount up most of my day was shot. However with the 1600 monthly mileage milestone looming close I did have some added impetus to ride.

I drove to the 24 Hour Fitness near Scholls Ferry Rd and Murray late in the afternoon and unloaded the bike. I headed out on a ride to Hagg Lake knowing it would give me the miles necessary as well as have me on less busy roads if I were to lose light before getting back.

I rode quickly, the light held, and I achieved my goal. Amazing to me really, since I WASTED a week in Southern California and didn't have my bike with me. 1600 miles in 3 weeks is a lot of riding........to me at least. But then again I'm signed up to ride 509 in less than 48 hours in just a few weeks!

And the best thing about starting where I did? I'm a member of 24 Hr Fitness, and when I finished they had a hot tub all ready for me to soak in!

1 month to go......ride, Ride, RIDE!
