62 mile ride by myself up Pilot Mountain yesterday. Thanks to Fitty Cent I had a good beat to make it up the mountain. Replayed Party In Da Club 3 times on my ipod during the ascent to help me up the mountain. Not many guys my age may even know who he is, but when you have teenage boyz you can't help but listent to some of their music. And, I must admit, I like a fair amount of it.
Not a pretty picture here, but then I'm working with an old worn out model, so I can't expect much. Still the background shows a great view from the top. Beautiful day, close to 90 degrees and sunny with no wind. I drank a tremendous amount of liquid on the ride and this was the first time I used the camel back in over a year, so good training for the beach ride. Drank 5-24 oz water bottles and filled the camel back up twice, but it was frozen solid initially, so it probably only amounted to one full camel back.
As for injuries. In the last 12 months we have all shown our age with each of experiencing some form of injury. Mine happpend a year ago, sidelining me for the summer. Philip had his achilles tendon and pneumonia, Carl with the back problems and now Fred with knee issues. We are still about 6 or 7 weeks away from the beach and barring no more injuries 3 of us are healing or have healed. Unfortunatly Fred's knee is a new one. Waiting to hear results of MRI and keeping our fingers crossed for good news.
