Sunday-Dan & I went to a mtn bike at a Texas ranch, they have 2 seasons a year, one in the spring & another in the fall, it gets way too hot in the summer mts. It is the first time in a long time that I raced in a NORBA sanctioned race. I was pissed I dropped my chaiin below a long hill & a couple of groups passed me. Cat-2 div of 80 degrees and Rocks (ouch) for 23 miles. 2:06 hours later I finished 7th out of 20--I will take it. (73/sun)

Monday went for a 75 miler with a group of 7 in 68 degree and wind!!(72/sun)

Tuesday it was misting with overcast clouds so Dave, Dan, Ted & I went for 37 miles in the afternoon. (56/cloudy)

Weds the long awaited long ride of the week, we drove 1hr south to hill country and did 108 miles with 7010 ft of climbing.(72/sun) After the ride we went to a coffee shop & ran into a German man who left Germany Sept. 2007 to ride around the world in 3-years I attached a pic of him & his bike--Crazy
