So I turned 29 a few days ago, and that was a revelation. For me, it was a chance to reflect on the good things in life, as well as the bumps in the road. And the not so good things in my life really are just that: bumps. Overall, can't complain about the way things are going.
I decided to gift myself with a long Saturday ride out in the Eastern Shores of Maryland, and man was it gorgeous. I drove out to Tuckahoe State Park and rode out to Dover, DE and back, making a figure eight. On the way out (W-E) I had a good tailwind and was flying. The way home was into the wind and much, much slower. The Colnago performed beautifully, and aside from a flat right at the turn around in Dover, it was a perfect ride. The Strava of the ride is below.
Today, I drove out to the Armed Forces Retirement Home in DC to see my friend Erin Silliman race. Erin's an old high school friend of mine who picked up cycling maybe 5 or 6 years ago, and in that time has rocketed to racing Cat-1 on both road and cyclocross. Today, she raced hard and finished on the podium alongside (among other all-star women) Laura vah Gilder. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to stick around to watch Erin's boyfriend Greg race. Some pictures I took from today's race (sorry, all I had was my phone with me)
