12-22-11 Thursday & 12-23-11 Friday

Yesterday was too windy for us to ride where we planned.  Doug took me on the switch backs at Tapia and some rock rool at Malibu Creek!   That man has a lot of patience helping to teach me to ride some technical switch backs!   I road under six miles and climbed about only 900 feet, but it's amazing how sore I was using differently muscles trying to negotiate a difficutl and scary turn (for me anyway) - hiking my bike back up or down and practicing the same area over and over takes patience! - Eventually I did most of them.  A few are haunting me that I HAVE to go back and do!   It was an awesome day and I had a lot of fun.

Tonight (Friday) was 50 minutes on the stationary bike!  Tomorrow is supposed to be a really big ride for me and it is Christmas Eve, so I hope I can fit it all in one day!  Time to get some rest!

This time of year always reminds me of how much I miss my mother, how lucky I am to be alive and riding a bike.   I have so much to be grateful for. 

Merry Christmas everybody!
