Ride in the hills
Ivan Basso was looking good in the Giro. That is an amazing race. Incredible climbs, heat, pain, suffering, and Basso looked in great shape. I wonder if he can hold on to his conditioning till and through the Tour. Time will tell. Only three more weeks till it starts.
It has been a good week on the bike so far, having ridden every day this week so far. A couple of days were good low intensity days followed by today of a lot of hills at high intensity. I had not ridden Erbes and Westlake in a while. It was a different day on the bike. I was a couple of gear higher than I had been before on those hills. It felt good. When I got home, I got on the scale. Yes, another five pounds down. Sub 200 is not too far away. In the immortal words of Morris Day, "YYYYYEEEEEEEESS."
I'd like to thank the Miami Heat for winning a couple of games to make it a series.
Finally, Ben is out of the hospital and the spin is he'll be back for the start of the season. Let's go Steelers. You know he is important when the team is 27-4 when he has started a game in the last two years.
Tomorrow we will travel to San Jose and hang with the Dunfords. It looks to be a good weekend of riding. It is always good to ride with good friends. I am looking forward to it.
