some pretty inconsistent riding lately. maybe about 4 or 5 rides in the last couple of weeks. my back is trying to tell me to take it easy. the other morning it told me, "ease up, there is a lot of season coming, you and i should sit here and rest and when i am ready to really get going i will let you know". i did not argue because i know my back has had me sprawled out on the floor in pain before and i did not want to go there. so my back is letting me plan on a time trial in Decorah this weekend. i hope to get a daily ride in this week to have some legs for that. also planning on a 50 mile race in Rochester on May 9th. i don't know what i was thinking to sign up for that (i think my longest race ever has been 15 or 16 miles) but i am looking forward to see how that goes.

finally got a chance to ride the beautiful roads around Afton yesterday. i have been wanting to get out there for a couple of years. took a bit of a chance with a back that was bad for a couple of days. funny enough the ride was the best my back felt over those 2 days and it has been better today. left Josh Collins house with Josh, Andy, and John. a great 26 mile loop at about 16.9 Av. with coffees in Afton and a couple great hills in the second half. thanks for a great ride JC, Andy, and John.
