Super Bowl Weekend

I will have to admit, I was part of a pool for the game. Really had no interest in watching it though. We got unseasonably warm a few weeks ago and all the snow melted. This weekend was supposed to be mild, and low wind. Friday saw 30-40mph winds with gusts that made the house creak and groan. Saturday was calmer, not as calm as predicted but not unridable. 3 of us set out to climb to the FS boundary up towards Lions Rock. Normally not reachable this time of year. It was about 42 F out with 15mph winds. Doing this ride early in the season was amazing. The climb felt good, topping out at 3900'. The descent back down and into town was fast and chilly with the wind at our backs. 32 miles in all, 2400' of climbing, most of that between 10 and 16 miles. Retreated to a beer in a hot shower to recover.

Sunday morning was rainy and cold. After it settled into a mist i knocked out a damp 3 mi run. A hot shower and laundry day ensued. The super bowl was on but i didn't really watch, and didn't really care. Had some lunch, cracked a beer and proceeded to clean up my work bench and work on bikes. All and all a good productive couple of days.
