Had an enjoyable meeting with work that was hosted at Hockley Valley resort on Friday. This ended with quite a bit, well....maybe a LOT of 18 year irish whisky and some tequilla.....plan was solid, however, with goal of meeting up with Tommy for a rip around some trails, the next morning. The trail name and location I will choose to keep secret ;) Let's just say we were able to enjoy some sweeeeet single track on what appeared to be lightly treaded and natural trail.
The initial plan was to meet at Hardwood and just link some laps for a couple hours but a call to Tommy led to an interesting change. The day was broken up with a couple beers with a visit to Albion for the start of the 24 hr race...THis is a race I have done solo, tag and in 6 person team in years past.....felt really weird to be pretty mellow and watching vs participating. Mosied around the grounds with the social butterfly, Tommy, and wished all well with the event. Have to say....we were really enjoying being observers this time round.
Shoulder is feeling pretty good now..will be 6 wks post injury and now feel I have the confidence to go over the bars and be able to brace myself..time to turn up the heat for prep back into the racing scene. Next post will also correspond with some updates re: racing events..I have already confirmed the July 23rd 8 hour solo at Hardwood. Will look into the substance projects marathon race in Kingston, HANSOLO in August and finish up the year with the fall 8. THis week is the week to kick the snot out of my lungs and legs....they've been idle for far too long...5 weeks seemed like an ETERNITY... Long mt ride tomorrow ;)
