I was very sore this morning. But the weather forecast was the best so far this year, so I let the LeMond come out and play. I did 38 miles today. I saw blue skies today! So nice to see after all of the rain. We headed north to Unionvale before crossing the Wheatland Ferry and returning home. The pace was quick, very quick. I held on for most of the ride, but dropped off with a few miles to go. It also started to shower lightly. Not enough to get wet, but enough to hurry home. Training update: I am doing well. I seem to be able to get in a long ride each weekend. However, they are very hard. I have three more weekends before the Death Valley Spring Double, so I have a reasonable amouth of time to build up my endurance. I hope that the weather cooperates.
