just for fun

today i went back to my roots.

the sun was out, wind gusting from the north, mid 50's, leaves turning yellow, lake front deserted. i took out my old mountain bike. a 1998 gary fisher hoo-koo-e-koo (in blue) and wandered all along the lakefront. in and out of parks, over hills, and under trees. i had no planned route, no spedometer, no place to be. just a relaxing ride with my old friend.

it felt great to be out riding again. i had taken out my tri bike earlier in the week for a ride when the weather was a little warmer. today i had a grin the entire ride. sometimes it is fun to just do things without a purpose, without a plan, without a goal. just riding for the sake of riding.

best of all, the urge to start training is coming back. i knew it would, just had to wait for the body to tell me it is ready.

looks like it is time to start planning for madison 09...
