It seemed approrpriate, since we were talking about burritos.

Took me a second.:D

Yeah, and he SPLIT his last burrito with someone! Not my idea of arduous training...

Vireo needs some serious carnitas repeats, followed by a nice alfredo-based recovery drink.

You know Brandy I noticed there was some protein in the Alfredo sauce the other night. I wonder if it still qualifies as a "powerfood"? Maybe we're back to cheese whiz.

[OC Roadie]

Is this your "warm-up" for the Sunday ride? :p

Yes...too much nutritional value and definitely not a powerfood!

Shhhh...maybe he'll slow down enough to ride with me on Sunday. :p <~~~wishful thinking, but a girl can dream, right? ;)

I would like to get two days of 10,000+ of climbing in a row to see how my will legs feel early in the season. I will do this throughout the season see if it becomes easier.

I don't think I've climbed 10,000 feet in my life.

My guess is it will get faster, but I don't know if two consecutive days of 10k will ever feel any easier.

Last year my two days off of work (long days on the bike) were Thursday and Saturday. So I used Friday as a rest day or an active recovery day. This year I have Sat and Sun off and I can simulate EC or 508 much more realistically.

[Extort]

The ability to realistically simulate the EC or the 508 is a something that people CAN do, but I am not sure that people SHOULD do....

actually, I am just jealous because all I get in this week was 2 ~30 mile rides yesterday (before and after my lame job)

None I rode alone. Like I always do. All I need is my bike and my iPod and I can ride all day without socializing with anyone.
