went for a long hilly ride yesterday. 9-3. about six hours and 80 miles. got out near blue mounds and black earth and did a little loop in iowa county. since i am in an indeed s-l-o-w process of building up my steel roadie. my friend was nice enough to offer titanium over my converted cross aluminum bike. only unfortunate thing was, 1- new saddle, 2- saddle was too far back on the rails so i got a wicked hamstring work out. which ended up thrashing my back. making stops every 30 minutes to crack all of my vertebras and pulling out the helpful yoga poses when applicable (last hour &1/2). back still is a bit tight today but my legs feel great. eating like a horse. went for a long walk cause i became bored and new it would be good to loosen my legs a bit today. ran into a friend at a small farmers market. ate some goodies. i tried my hand at making some strawberry jam. we'll see. ha.
have off in the morning tomorrow so hopefully get some ride in. nothing too intense, just good for the legs and getting my bootay in better shape. for me and hopefully the start of the season, for me at least.
annoyances: dog upstairs.
life saver: crocs.
thinking about planning a backpacking trip soon.
