Just another rainy/snowy Monday

The only good thing about this winter being so cold is that it made the past few days seem really warm. In fact, I went riding with my little sister this weekend and she actually exclaimed "it feels like summer!"

It was only 34 degrees.

The funny thing is that it DID feel like summer (kind of). I got some really good hours in this weekend, and all on the Titus. I rode for 3 hours on Saturday and 5 hours on Sunday, and Toni joined me for most of it. We had to ride on the road, because all of our trails are still covered in a lot of snow. It's too bad because I am dying to ride some more trail.

Here's Toni in her new team kit...

No wonder why it felt like summer to her...she had one thousand and one layers on!

Anyways, back to my bike. I'm slightly obsessed with it. The first time that I took it off road was in Arizona. It was awesome. At first, I almost felt out of control because the bike is SO light and super responsive. Within ten minutes I was passing Scott on a climb that he had to walk. The bike climbs like a mountain goat. Basically, I can't spend enough time on it.

BTW...the reason that Scott had to get off of his bike and walk was because he was riding a 1x9. He was really over geared. That's his story anyways :-)

Today is a recovery day, and all I have to do is an easy hour on the trainer. I don't mind staying inside today, since we are being pelted with some sort of snow/rain mix. Spinning will be good for my legs today because they are toast. An ice bath would probably have been a good idea for recovery after yesterday's workout...but there is no freaking way that I was about to sit in a tub of ice...in February...in Michigan. It would just make me bitter.

I ended up doing the exact opposite and took a hot, bubble bath. It was great, until I fell asleep. Luckily I woke up before I was completely under water.

Well, time to go walk my parents dog. They watch Naomi whenever we are gone so I owe them many, many dog walking hours when I am home!!!
