I thought Labor Day was a day of rest - for me and my husband Tom it was our fourth day in a row on bike seats! Trying to acclimatize to the 525 mile California Coast Classic bike tour schedule! We logged about 150 miles this week/weekend and this morning were glad not to be getting on our bikes! But we sure had fun exploring the Conejo Valley this weekend. We live in a great area with lots of sights - and at the speeds we cruise at - we got to see them all.
Not to forget were a few mishaps along the way - including me falling off my bike at mile 48 of our 50-mile bike ride Friday (big bruise to prove for it) and me getting stung by a bee on Sunday while yelling at my biking companion about my **!#@ bike gears (as if it was his fault!) The bee sting is still there, along with the bruise, to remind me to stay calm in adversity!
This weekend was also a practice race-day swim for the Malibu Tri next week. Good racing despite the current running in the opposite direction and a few swells. Hope I can keep up the pace for next Sunday and that the current is in my favor!
So all in all, we are getting in top shape - almost logged 750 miles since we started this year - hoping to get in 1,000 before the ride.
Thanks to all my supporters......keep posted for more updates on the tri and the ride...complete with pictures!
