Spring ahead. Time to dust off the spaceship bike…
Took a full week of recovery from the bike after a fairly heavy 95-hour February. Swapped to a full week in the gym. Got sick for 24 hours on Friday. Slept for 14-15 of those and back to the gym Saturday. Legs were flat today as whatever I had wears off.
Anywho, season is coming up. I hope the 9 centuries I did last month is enough to make it through MKF 😂

Sounds like a good one for you. Dunno if Costco has vegan dogs though.

Does the kitty play his own mini-guitar?

That’s a Lego guitar so it doesn’t work.

Sorry, silly me! I didn't notice it wasn't a real mini guitar...

Simple mistake. She has her own actual mini guitar. She learned how to play Call of Catulu, Fur Elise, and some others Meowsical hits.

We back over here now that the season is upon us.
Batsto 200k.
Rolled into the lot fashionable late, got ready, and started about 20 minutes behind the group.
Tailwinds and good roads made short work of the outward leg. 23ish mph average took me from dead last to first before the 60 mile turn-around. Sub 3-hours. Downside to that? It wasn’t open when I got there 🤷
So no refuel until the next Control in 35-miles.
Now riding into a headwind and thirsty, my pace settled into something more slow. Was still teetering on a 6-hour 200k, but not by much.
Hit Wawa for 90-mile stop. Filled my bottles and ate a pretzel, back on the bike. Felt a bonk coming on so I pushed a bit harder to get on the other side of it quicker.
Next 10-miles or so was shit roads and the spaceship bike was taking a beating. Eventually I felt a looseness in the front end and realized my fork had basically unthreaded 😳
Not an easy roadside repair to pull the front end of one of these things apart, but that’s exactly what I did.
Lost 15-20 minutes and got back on the bike right as 2nd went by me. I had a stupid gap but now I sort of limped the last 19-miles to the finish and was happy with 3rd. Still a sub 7 200k in course but with my late start it was a 7:16 I think. I don’t usually count when the event starts because you have an hour window to actually start.

Bikepack Every Month Challenge, month 1. Only had Friday/Saturday to hit this one so I did my go-to training loop with the overnight at Camp Taylor in Columbia, which is where the Wolf Preserve is.
Originally my wife was coming up this morning to do the tour but it was pouring when she got there so we just left. I went to see the wolves in the morning as soon as the sun came up and got closer than they let you on the tour anywho.
