WEEKEND ADVENTURE

Last weekend I had a really fun 80-mile ride on the mountain bike. Unfortunately it wasn't all on dirt, but the parts that were dirt were great.

At the half-way point I stopped in a bit of shade for some snack - an apple, some jerky, and an energy bar.

The climbing was insanely hot.

I don't know that I have ever sweat so much on my bike. By the end I drank 16 lbs of water. Luckily this spigot was flowing with nice, cool water.

The sections of sweet flowing singletrack through the woods made it all worth it.

RUNNING WITH THE ADVENTURE DOGS

I often see people talking on cell phones when walking their dogs. They are basically ignoring their dog and missing a great opportunity to bond and witness the joy that dogs find in simple things like running. Dogs have an ability to jump into life with all fours and fully experience their surroundings. We should all be so carefree!

GREAT RIDE

I had a great ride this evening. It was one of those rides where I was feeling no pain and it just felt good to go super hard ... and then go harder. I haven't had a ride like this in at least a month and it felt great! I was able to snap a couple of pics along the way with the sun setting behind the Flat Irons.

TO WHET YOUR APPETITE

The sunrises in Tuscany were quite spectacular!

RIDE LONG AND SMILE
