We left midtown this morning about 5:30am to ride out for bacon. Got a little over a lap in on the singletrack before it was grubbin time. Decent showing this morning, a big contingent from Lincoln rode out as well. Good to see you cats out there. Took the mopac back to springfield, 132nd to hwy 370, to west papio trail, then to keystone and back up north to home. I ate my face off at platte and it was nearly gone by the time I got home.
Got a solid 80mi in yesterday on the road bike, 4 hours and change, today put in nearly 6 hours going out to bacon and back, so that puts me at 10 hours for the weekend. Haven't had a long weekend like this since March. And it felt good. I figure I gotta do enough miles for me, and some extra for CVO since he can't do it himself right now. And it should be good timing, good prep for the Dakota 5-0 next weekend!

Still to sore to crank the SS up the hills at Platte.
Did catch the race, then heading to Swanson, rode there, got in 3 laps then tried to meet GT,Shim,LtD and Rusty at Manawa. started raining on my first loop.
Oh well, still got in two and half hours. Should be back at Platte next week.
wicked fun conditions this morning out there.
Doug, Leah, Tim, Zak and I hit Jewel, Swanson, and Tranquility on Saturday. Saw Deal, Shim, and Jay at Swanson before they headed to Jewel.
Pretty cool doing a couple laps at each back to back to back. Really brings out the distinct trail characteristics riding one after another.
Doug did three laps at Jewel and wanted to do more before us mere mortals who happen to control the van key convinced him to load up for Swanson. So he put in four at Swanson, then at least one at Tranquility before riding home.
Forgot to mention seeing Dave, Bill, Martin and Christine at Swanson as well.
so much of a good thing!!!
someday, i might have SPEED again and get my fill of the F1 again...of course OLN would be fun, too...sigh!
my weenie legs got me through swanson a couple of times just fine, but had a kid commitment at school...so the day was ended...arrived again on Sunday to the heavier part of the rain and didn't even try...so the schedule of daddy goes...
still, it was great to see everyone on saturday...saw the fellow with the serotta single, jones bars, moots post...and ferrari sticker...cool bike...gotta find me a ss (yes, that space is intended!)

have a beer at the end of the ride for me as well.
