Word of the Day - VOLUNTARY

VOLUNTARY - yep that is the word. Gotta keep reminding us of that. Staying a live was also the theme of the day.

We had a brunch birthday party on the Gross side (son-in-law side). Pizza and cake can sit heavy on the tummy. Got home and Goose was actually going to be on time. I was getting ready to head out and noticed a message on the phone. Jeff C was still working on the results of the race he was working this morning - wasn't sure if Rhino and Goose wanted to wait on him. They did decide to wait (poor on time Rhino - can't win with the tri guys!) Vince was the man today - he showed Jeff C what he had to offer and that was a lot. When they were done, they all agreed communication was what they needed. Goose reached a point a couple of times today, race day he needs to speak up and they will back it down a notch until his heart rate comes back down. They put a hurt on the old guy today!

I headed out and did not go all the way down Peters. I hit Fred-Ginghamsburg to Boone to Dog Leg. Took my normal turn onto Jackson and left on Fred Pike and right to Martindale and then to Kley. Decided I wanted to try the Antioch School Road (hmmmmm Voluntary comes to mind). When I FINALLY reached the top to turn on Fred Pike I took a little (maybe long) rest. Finished up with Neal Pearson to Troy Fred and then home.

It was such a beautiful day to ride. We know the days are numbered and then it becomes trainers again. Gotta love the fall weather with the beautiful skies.

HAHAHAHA................Jeff asked for it. LOL Race day is different and Goose had a hard week of training which will help for next Sunday. Fresh legs will help too.

Glad you did Antioch Carla. Just remember to pedal circles and not squares!! KEEP IT UP!!

Yep - he is still smiling (so that is good). He just needs to keep them on the final 25 in his range. Me - I chomped up the climb (wrong gears) but learned a very valuable lesson.

He needs to ride with you guys a couple of times this week.
