Santorum / Epic

NEWSFLASH: SANTORUM NOT PURE EVIL.
Looks like this fag-basher has a spot in his heart for the poor. He even criticized Bush's budget plan. Read about it here. (Sorry about the login.)

Yesterday instead of skiing I went for a bike ride. The Cool race is coming up in two weeks and I have needed to put some long days in. Yesterday ended up being 6 hours, 43 miles with 5880 of climbing.
I wasn't commited to such a long ride from the start, I gave myself the choice to do a big ride or a smaller ride. At one and a half hours I felt pretty good still, no sweating, no big ouputs of work and my legs didn't complain one bit, so I went for the big ride. From Nevada City, Round Mountain, South Yuba, Malakoff Diggins, Missouri Bar, South Yuba again, Round Mountain again, and back to Nevada City, all very beautiful.
The daffodils were blooming in Lake City, right in front of the metal daffodil sculpture. There was a great view of Grouse Ridge from near Malakoff Diggins.
I feel pretty rough today, but better than I should feel. Hopefully this has helped me. I've been overtraining a bit and am trying to mix it up so that I have time to recover. So far this year I have put in more miles than this time last year. I hope all this translates into good results at the races.
