GordoByrn's Group Full for the Spring (Page 12)

Beh, not hard core more of an idiot. Actually, with rain all weekend forecast I was being smart and avoiding yet another trainer ride. This ride was sllllowwww. And included wine tasting. :-)

Awesome cute. 

My family planned to do same with me but somehow teen ended up on the phone or texting, hubby got stuck with another volunteering job, kiddo was in the lake with all his clothes on ... I ran down the chute looking for them but OH WELL

Here they are moments later:

weekend already in progress:

chauffeur kids, LSD run in the country FABULOUS, chauffeur kids, 9 year old b-ball game, chauffeur kids, swim in the 50 meter outdoor pool GORGEOUS, make dinner, chauffeur: tomorrow ride with the bike club if I feel up to it and the weather's good or else a day off (from working out, of course, chauffering will go on)

PS for those pix I cannot link w/success see my blog (rated NC-17, for the occasional salty language or off color remark about Michael Phelps' hijinx)

So doods I got the aerobars on, rode around. No prob. I usually ride in the drops so it is not that big of a difference. I used the spacer to raise them. Handling seemed fine, quickness to brakes, too. I'll get out on the road in a couple days and see. Bet you I do not use them coming down those big hills though. 

Hey I think I better quit my energy drink habit. I'd like to get rid of a couple more pounds and have been puzzled as to why that's not happened yet. 

What are you all up to? There's a charity ride this weekend, 42 mile option a couple training buds are doing and I may join them. Wonder what the vibe is re:aerobars for a ride like that - I could easily take them off if someone complains.

Matthew - ahhh 50m pool. Love it. I am so glad our long course pool is open here. It IS harder but it makes you a better swimmer. Even better than long course season is going back to the itty bitty pools in the fall - 25y seems so easy by comparison. Listen to me. As if I am some sort of good swimmer, but bit by bit I'm getting better. As far as seat adjusting - haven't done anything yet. Are you supposed to? I should have asked the dude with the tattoos at the bike store but if it seems comfortable I'm just going to leave well enough alone. Did you get the shorter aerobars? Apparently that's what one needs for a road bike, otherwise you end up too stretched out. Let us know how it goes. B

Suzy, got to give you your props for courage and tenacity. It's like that Yogi Berra quote that I am now gonna mash up and makes a mess of, "Triathlon is 90% mental. The other half is physical." You got them both going on, Suzy.

The answer to that is always yes :-) and the sooner the better

"Never postpone joy"
