Legs are back

Welcome back legs.
Good ride today.
below 40, and it is almost May. Snow showers / hail, wind. Makes for some crazy kids cooped up in the house and unhappy parents.

Rode at pond with John. Off roading isn't so bad in this kind of weather, except for me feet. Rode real well. Legs feeling good. Walking around this morning I could tell they were feeling better. Middle ringed the Sidewinder climb. Walked some of the switchbacks, but never felt overgeared. Did middle before here, but that was the low cadence , grinding Muscle Endurance type work. Today it was a middle ring spin. That just rules.

Handling was pretty good, but my air chambers in the fork seem to be losing air. Need to figure that out. Went down the wrong downhill. Was looking for the super tight twisty one. Ended up on the really really steep one with drop offs on it. The one I endoed on real good a couple of years ago. Surprisingly smooth and easy until I hit the last steep section. Lost nerve and did the wimpy endo to single foot on ground, sapling in hand.

Saw some guys from the shop at the parking lot. They were saying that Douthat might not happen. No call backs from promoter to anyone. May be going to Winterplace, WV this Sunday. This will be the last race for some time. Will give it a little rest, and rearrange the training to minimize impact on weekends.
