California - Arizona Connection

It has been a busy several days since Christmas. Between friends coming over, travel, and visiting friends, I have had the opportunity to put in some serious miles over a couple of great rides. The 21 with Cassie, 55 on Christmas over some of my favorite SoCal rides, 15 for a recovery, 50 with Jens and Dan up to McDowell State Park, and 15 in Goodyear by our old house in 40 degree weather. I took today off and am hoping Christine will get out for a little bit tomorrow. Then it is time to clean and pack the 4Runner for the trip to Portland. Talk about stress! It is just hard leaving the family.

The legs are feeling stronger with each ride. I just need to start working on core and cardio in order to get my weight down. The first ride is in March in Solvang. This won't be the 5 hour century but it will be a good indication of where to work for the next several months to prepare for the rides in July and August.
