So, every spring I get on my bike and ride 3 or 4 times a week, and I really enjoy it. The problem is... by mid June I sort of lose interest. It isn't because I get sick of riding, I think I just get lazy. So I have come up with a plan to overcome my lazy nature. I am signing up for the Desperado Dual. It is a 100 mile bike race in Panguitch, UT on August 23. I figure, this will force me to keep training and stay in shape for the race. I don't really have high expectations for the race, other than to finish.
Yesterday was the day that I decided I was going to get on my bike, and stay there through the end of the summer. The problem was, it was 40 degrees and cloudy. Not a really great day to ride. But, I bundled up, and went out anyway.
How did it go? Well, I think I froze my nards off. And, I am way more out of shape than I thought I was.
An update on the training will follow as the summer wears on.

I don't know about you ben, but I'd take a pair of nards over a healthy heart any day.
