Swayback
Fortunately, there is a mountain bike trail somewhat close to home. It's not any Oak Mountain, but will do well enough to keep some fitness. I'm not a fan of this trail mostly because it kicks the crap out of me.. It's punchy.. Not much rhythm... Tight.. Roots.. LOTS of roots. Still though - riding with buddies is always good!

Rando-Less - aka The Glassner Autumn Challenge
As much as anything, I've been having a hankerin' just to jot down some abbreviated thoughts and put something out there as a reminder all is well and the bike(s) still get some use!
The work schedule over the past year or so has been more demanding than in years past, so my ability to train for and participate in the brevets has really diminished. Not only that, but the fire for ultra-anything just isn't stoked too hot at the moment. Then again, it's one of those things that requires momentum.
Now - down to cases!
About the only worthy thing aside from some mtb races so far this year, I've done some organized fundraisers and so forth. This weekend was a century ride in memory of a cyclist that was hit and killed by a cager some years ago. Thankfully, my buddy David whom was riding with him at the time, survived the ordeal.
Ok - it's just a century ride (100 or more miles), but the lack of training miles and my desire to ride with some passion - along with the steady and everpresent headwind made for a testy little ride. Summary. It was a good bike ride with mostly my buddy Louis. Below is some video from his Cycliq camera. This was just after a couple of dummies hit the deck as is so very common in these mass start events. Hope their okay, but bloody hell... so many sketchy riders that need weeded out!
It turned out to be a cloudy, but just warm enough day. Perfect, aside from the wind.
And now - the obligatory data for the geeks.
