Ramblings about nothing

Been slacking in the blogging department. Not sure what I'm posting here..just update on stuff.

Went to Florida the 2nd week of October to visit my dad & his new bride..(yea he got married again at age 81...pretty cool huh?) Weather was hot. mid 90's by the midpoint of the week. Ate a lot of seafood, drank a lot, rode a little, had a great time. Celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary.Time sure does fly!

Haven't been on the bike much. Maybe once or twice a week Definitely still riding with the "boyz" on Thursdays...although this past Thursday was cut short b/c a couple of light issues..(not enough run time, so we cut our portion of the ride short so they could get back safely)

The break is nice..we'll start training for next race season soon enough. We've been doing stuff around the house, taking the spoiled pooch for hikes, and relaxing a bit. We've also started back at the gym to get the weights going.

Been having neck issues...(shooting pains, etc. but getting that worked on and so far so good)

Also helped hubby w/ getting pictures taken at trail intersections at Carvins Cove for a sign project he is working on. Hopefully we'll get some trail signs out there soon so folks don't get lost. He's put a ton of time and effort into this project. It needed to be done for a long time and he's definitely a good one to have working on it. Speaking of the Cove, IMBA has been doing work out there w/ some re-routes on a couple trails. Haven't ridden much of them but heard they are pretty good.

Went to the dedication ceremony of the Lick Run Greenway. It connects downtown Roanoke out to Valley View Mall. Very pretty greenway w/ some great views of the Mill Mountain Star & Wachovia building as you come back from the mall on the trail.

Got 2 more races coming up in November. They are mountain cross races, very low key..in fact, I'm not really training for them. I'm just gonna go out & ride & have fun. Check it out on the Roanoke Cycling Organization web site....It's the Bare Bones Mountain Cross Series.

I guess that's my update for now. I'll try not to be such a slacker w/ the blogs.
Peace Out.
