Its amazing how one good recovery day can make you feel. I felt great on yesterday's ride, and I had a need to take the Toccata on the back roads and do some old school exploring just to give the routine some spice.
Its easy to ride the paved roads around Van Isle, you can pretty much ride anywhere and easily find your way back to civilization. The problem is the back logging roads, most of which are dirt. Since most of the area is owned by logging companies.....you guessed it, there is hundreds of kilometers of logging roads that lead nowhere. You can ride for hours and hours and not see any signs, or people for that matter. The problem is that you could end up in a maze of roads that lead further into the woods, eventually ending in a town 100k away.
On one of these back road exploring adventures, I managed to find this abandoned ghost church. Pretty deadly, I figure if I ever get into Porn, I'll have to shoot an S&M scene here.
The new position works great! I felt 100% better and more efficient. I am getting some tendinitis in one knee, but I'm attributing that to the sudden change. I think taking it easy the next few rides to adjust is on the menu for the next few days.
On another note, I managed to tackle down a job in the Valley. I'll be now working for Black's Cycles. Its about a 3 minute ride from my house, and deals Norco and Rocky Mtn. bikes. Deadly. Working a bike shop is the ideal for me. The cycling crew are usually the only ones who understand that some days you can't work because you need to ride a bicycle for 5 hours.
