After 45 miles on Saturday, I was having a tough time figuring out what I wanted to do today. I could go long again, only at an easier pace, or I could hang out with my buddy Tim and play in the dirt – or both.
I opted just for mountain biking out at Holdridge, followed by some softball practice with the girls. Tim and I got our signals crossed so I ended up doing the easy 2 mile North Loop twice waiting for him to show up. When he finally got there we got right to it. I was happily surprised to keep up well with him (though I believe he takes it easy so I can). That said, I felt quite good considering yesterday’s ride and turned in a personal best for that loop.
I don’t know what the deal is but I’ve really been having fun on the mountain bike lately. Call it a great change of pace I guess. I do have a tough time justifying the fact that, once drive time is taken into account, I can ride 35 miles on the road bike to just ten or fifteen on the mountain bike. Still, mountain biking is a ton of fun and it’s a heck of a workout.
On getting home, the girls and worked on batting in the front yard for a bit before dinner. After that it was Harry Potter on DVD, then Transformers on TV. Then bed time.
It promises to be a crazy week. At least I did what I could for my sanity this weekend.

I really want to love mountain biking…but I’m a road bike girl! Maybe some day… I hope! 🙂

I wish we had mountains 🙂 Or hills, or something!
Ooh, I couldn’t imagine not having ANY hills, holy smokes! Kind of like Florida, eh?
Worse. We don’t even have an ocean.
Good point.
Sad. We have trees. And really filthy lakes. So, we have that.
