Time Off The Bike.

After last night's group ride I'm gonna take some time off the bike to try and heal up this knee. I didn't ride overly hard and hung near/off the back most of the evening but something's not right down there. My knee is really freaking sore right now. Blah. Maybe a few days rest will do it some good.

Upping the Miles.

It's been awhile. I've been putting in a few more miles recently and while it's helping my fitness I guess my knee isn't what it used to be and it's feeling it. I took today off and bought a 6-pack of Blue Moon (Yeah just like that Cop from Cambridge likes) and figure it was time to update the old blog.

Tour de France: So the tour came and went and no surprises here. Alberto won. I think he's doped to the gills but that's just my opinion. Congrats to him. Lance? He did well but just didn't quite have the snap to handle the accelerations. No news there.

The Shack? It looks like Radio Shack will be the sponsor next year. Look for The Shaq, The Shack and Lance ads soon.

Back to riding. I did a couple group rides recently, the first of the year, and it felt really great to be out there riding again with other people. There are some new fast guys to deal with Aren't there always? I'm a lot slower than last year, but if last night's ride is any indicator I'm coming around again and should be able to hang with the big dogs again soon. (Hopefully) anyway.

Personal Note: I'm missing the girls.
