It seems the weather has not cooperated at all the last couple of weekends, so our training has suffered some. It's hard to complain about the rain though, the lake is coming up gradually and its about time to get the boat ready.
Elle the new pup is getting better daily, she absolutely torments Zoey and they are both tired by the end of the day. She does have some habits we are trying to break like digging and hiding under the dinner table. She is adorable, but scared of the camera. She tries to run when she sees it.
In other news Becky and I have planned a vacation to Breckenridge, CO with our friends from Nashville. I met a guy, through mountain biking, who owns an adventure company out their and we plan to hang with him, ride bikes, raft, see the sites and hike. Can't wait hardly describes the anticipation We will be there July16-23, so our house will be available for a visit, but we won't be here. We will also be in St. Louis June 17-21, I have a convention and Becky is riding my coatheels (I can't seem to shake her).
I am on spring break this week and I took a long weekend to do some yard work and spend some time on the bike. Becky and I have both signed up for an endurance race in Tennessee next weekend. I am racing th 65 miler and Becky the 35miles. On Thursday, I rode 50 miles with some folks in the gaps near Dahlonega (while Becky worked) alot of climbing and alot of fun.
We have spent the last 2 weekends riding as far and as long as we can. Yesterday we went up to Dahlonega and road the fireroads around Bull Mountain. The trails were wet from rain, but the gravel roads were in great shape. We road about 30 miles with about 7,000 ft. of climbing.
Today, we wanted our sit bones to recover from our ride on Saturday so we took the dogs up to Blood mountain, about a 3 mile hike to the top of Georgia's second highest peak. The pups had a blast and it was a little chilly, but a beautiful day. The pics speak for themselves.
