Another weekend with rain, Im going to try to squeeze a ride between 50-75 miles in Sunday before the game. Three guys from my team just got out of the hospital, they were unlucky on our Wednesday night racing. I think someone grounded a pedal in a turn and six went down, I always try to stay on the outside so I have room, it gives me a little more time to react when we are going about 23 mph through the turns. Two cracked helmets, two broke colarbones, one broke wrist and two concusions were the grand totals. Go team Vicodin!
wow, glad they are going to be ok! Helmets are good. I went for a 25 mile road ride today, furthest I've ever ridden on the road before. It was on my old beater mtb
(with rack, panniers, and a 35 pound total weight...
) with 85psi city tires installed. Fun ride, but really I'm just not very comfortable yet around cars on shoulderless roads
(which most roads around here are
). I'm still mixed on whether I want to invest in a road bike. I like mountain biking so much more, but it's hard to deny the ease of just taking off from the house for a ride instead of hauling the bike down to a trailhead 10 miles away. I'm just going to give it some more time and do more road riding on the bike I have and see how it goes.
s everyone watching the game? Im going for the Colts, although I really like Reggie Bush, Payton Manning is unstopable right now, he's amazing to watch! That and do my taxes online!
I'll actually be at my wife's grandfathers 101st birthday party on Sunday! No football fans in that family, so I'll DVR the game to watch later.
