Trail Run

Well, this weekend was suppose to be the time to work out all the kinks. Plan A was to ride the first leg of my ride (~100 miles) on Saturday, stay overnight in the hotel i will stay at in 2 weeks and then pedal back on Sunday. The day started beautifully - weather, attitude, bike, timing, everything. Well, 30 miles in, flat tire. UGH!!! Well I'm prepared...tools, tubes, tires and pump. Did i say pump....brand new, untested. I did say this trip was to work out the kinks. Pump didn't work so my bride had to come and SAG me home. (did i mention that my bride is a keeper!)

Sunday turned out much better. NO flats. Did 5o miles into the first leg, got lost and ended up doing 109 miles. Fine tuning my nutrition because ended up hitting a wall (Bonking) @ 87 miles. But getting better with each training ride.

Side Note - I do have two people feigning interest in coming with me. time will tell..I'm still going either way.
