bailey's a champ....

well, went out to lost valley and put in about 45 miles, five laps plus some little detours and trips back to the car. i met greg out there with his singlespeed. that guy cracks me up, he gets there and he's got some vintage platform pedals, from like a 1982 huffy bicycle, you know, the kind that's on your moms bike. well, he couldn't get them off to put his other pedals on and had to ride with them. if he didn't have bad luck he'd have no luck at all!!! that diamondback frame was acutally my first mt. bike from 1992. it's got some miles and history in that frame. anyways, he took his dog layla and i took bailey out there too and i was just expecting her to make it one lap with me. well, not only did she do that, but she made it two laps and ran the whole way. i guess the cooler temps and the running i've been doing with her have helped out her stamina. the last time i took her with me she made it a half a lap and then bonked. Layla on the other hand wasn't so lucky. she ripped up the pads on her paws from all the rocks and we had to put her back in the car. hopefully she's ok. it was a good day to be out on the trails again. i seem to have forgotten my original love for the singletrack. it was so much fun. i wasn't riding too hard because i've got a 75 miler to do with jess and a few friends today, plus, none of my rides nowadays are too hard. i've still been putting in the miles, but absolutely nothing in the aneroebic levels.
