What can I say? I’m right on track. My goal for 2011 was 4800+ miles – I logged 400 for January. It took a late night snow ride to break 400. But I did it.  Check the data, dude.

The rides last weekend were interesting. The ride on Friday became a cruise in the park prior to a late lunch and an early dinner with The TeddNeck and family. Cool. The SYDC group ride was a group race with The Judd trailing far behind. (Recall, us Back of the Pack Racers can ride, but we can’t race. Too big, too slow, too cool, too handsome. We just cruise.) The Sunday tour of the ABQ Foothills was filled with interesting people. That’s a polite way of saying…. OK, I won’t say it.

So, miles were logged and that’s about it. One more weekend of big miles before THE TAPER starts. BTW, what the hell is A TAPER. Is that a convenient way of saying “I’m sick of training, I’ll take this week off. Let’s go get a big greasy cheeseburger.”

Anyway just for fun, let’s review the Back of the Pack data for last week. The data proves what you were thinking. a) The Judd logged the most miles, b) The Morale Chairman was busy being busy, c) Prob-eee was taking naps and downing the Gerital, d) The Lt Col was doing something – but has no proof, e) Rhino was just riding.
