Friday: I will be doing a short ride from EDHS to the Shingle Springs Park and Ride. Leaving the high school at 4:00.
Saturday: Cap'n, No Handle, Bambi, and Ghost Rider will be leaving from Starbucks at 7:00 tomorrow morning for a long, really long, really really long, and fast dirt outing.
Sunday: Normal 7:30 Starbucks roll out. Anyone doubling can plan for a recovery ride as Rock God and I are planning a couple hours of slow smooth riding!
Mattman: One week from Sat. 60 mile hard(ish) ride or 13 mile really soft pedal. I think there should be folks for both!
24 HR: 4 weeks out!
IM: 11 weeks out!
Until we ride again!

I am still your ride leader
We took Councilman for the longest ride of the day. I truly appreciate the offer of the "man cave" for a G10 Summit to save the FT3 movement! In the end we will not need the cave for such a reason. However, might the cave be available on the afternoon of April 11th for a post Mattman award ceremony?
As for the ride:
Yes we did indeed have an eventful ride on Tuesday. We went back to make sure the flume trail had made it through the winter without harm. It was good to be back on that trail, a real sign that the days will be hot a dusty soon. At some point on the return we lost Bambi, I kinda freaked that a rouge Pollock Pine hunter may have gotten him (authors note: Wolf is on the loose, we did not seem, nor have not seen his encampment for a long while, heads up!). Anyway, once again we found the group totally spread out. I admit it, it makes me nervous and I get hell of pissy when we loose folks. Bambi, of all people, failed to follow FT3 rule #1, as I heard no high pitched screams. In the end we all were able to regroup, we did have to chase the Rock God down a random trail. We sang kumbaya, signed up for couples counseling, and got on with the task at hand (riding bikes!)
Taco Notes:
The hot sauce book did come out and we did make some ambitious notes on future orders...beware of the coming hot sauce hangovers. Justin turned the hot beer on its head by mixing some beer in the remaining amounts of Possible Side Effects before dressing the taco with the beer mix...that's right folks a beer dressed taco...only at FT3!
Kits:
Justin is on the kit order! Looks like we are heading toward a Voler set up with the Prison Tat theme. There might be some copyright violations but hey we have to do something to earn those prison tats.
On the side:
I woke up the morning totally worked! Justin is racing PCRS tonight and Jerry is taking the bye. I will post results when I see them. Jerry is planning a very ambitious dirt outing on Saturday, long and fast is the word I am getting. Sunday will still have the Starbuck meeting at 7:30 for a recovery ride.
Until we pedal again!

Moving On
I didn't get a lot of sleep last night, instead I sat awake most of the night wondering what I really want to focus on. I have determined that triathlon is where my heart is and the dirt just gets me frustrated, not to mention the hot sauce hang-overs. Therefore, I will be opening up the author position and quietly slipping off into tri-geek world. I am pretty sure that by selling off all the Mt. Bike stuff, I can outfit the road bike with a good TT set up and maybe buy that extra time needed to get to Kona.
I don't mean to over react, I just need to go where I am feeling the most passion for sport. I have been thinking about this for some time. I do think this is a spectacular area for tri training. The swim yesterday, although cold, was an indicator of how prime our area is. I hope over the next few months to build a core group of triathletes willing to train in this area. Maybe our paths will cross with a Tuesday night outing. I am currently thinking that I will incorporate a Tuesday night workout with hill repeats on Mormon Immigrant, maybe I can work it to include tacos?
So I guess with that, I am signing out! Although, collective thought is that it might be great for a
girl, the Rocky Mountain has treated me well and if anyone out there is looking I can make a good FT3 deal! Sometimes you come to a fork in the road and you need to decide which route to take. When it happens at night, you kind of hope its the same route that everyone else is on, or maybe it is time to stray off on your own. Carry on my friends and do FT3 proud!
Enjoy April!
