eventful day

lots accomplished today! lots of drinking that is. started the day a bit later since i had to tinker with my bike this morning. i met amanda at island lake with the intention of doing some trail riding. we did the yellow loop and was disappointed at how soft and muddy it was. i really didn't want to head out onto the open roads and battle the winds but the sunshine was calling me. we headed into kensington and attacked the hills. my legs were feeling A LOT better than they did last week, and i thought i climbed the hills much faster. the wind was still a bitch though. we decided to call it a day after kensington since the lure of guinness was too much to overcome. 21 hard earned miles deserved a reward as grand as a tall pint of guinness. we had a good late afternoon lunch and a couple pints of guinness and then parted ways. since we were just up the street from bonfire, i decided to trek up there to see how many of the tree farmers were still there. most of the crew was leaving as i got there but hung out w/ some long time pals...adam, paula and mike. after a couple of porters we decided to head on over to the deadwood. good times w/ some old friends.

so, since i drank all day, i'll have to sleep in tomorrow and miss tom's ride. looks like some running is in my sunday forecast. what's the fun in training if i don't have fun...right?
