My buddy Steve and I are doing the HooDoo 500 (ultra endurance race) in the 2-person geezer category this weekend. At this point, we should be "tapering" instead of riding hard, but I couldn't resist a short ride in the local mountains. Is it still "tapering" if you take your time and just cruise along?

Anyway, it was hot and we were all thirsty and hungry at the end, so we stopped by a local eatery for some Mexican food and mango margaritas.

This is my idea of tapering. Yours?
