trying to ketchup. training ride

so it has been brought to my attention that my blogging is basically sucking as bad as my bike riding. well, its not as bad as jacob florence's blog. the worst blog in all of the internets... but basically noah is up on me by:



where r = number of days off noah has this month / number of blog posts -and- t = number of times jacob florence has used the word belgium since last september. it is quite a delicate operation, but working this out reveals that noah has roughly 24357843325837 x e^3.14159... more blog posts than i do. tisk tisk.

so in an effort to catch up (get it? ketchup. like in my favorite movie) i'm posting lots of kool pictures from tonight's training ride:

sam, katherine, and my shoulder

more

someslowguy himself

sam and snow

mountains. sugar, beech, and the sun

someslowguy and the remains of appalachian ski mountain

my workout consisted of cruising to the top of russ cornett/poplar grove intersection with sam. he peeled off to head back to boone after taking a big mtb ride/fall yesterday. it was nice to start off with someone, and obviously we ran into katherine for a bit. after we headed our separate ways i cruised up shulls mill doing some 2minute on/off efforts until i reached the brp. i went up towards the manor house and put in another 1min effort there. recovering on the long descent to 321/flat-top i determined i would do 30sec on/off intervals up flat-top and that settled into 8x 30sec/30sec recov until i snapped the shot at app ski mtn. i topped out on deck hill, then ripped down the fun side into town. said hello to robert jameson, andy steele, and tyler c and spun it out back to the bike shop. after a dinner of a turkey sandwich and M&M's i found my camera cable and some motivation to type. so here i am. back in action. on the bike AND the blog.
