Florida day ????.....

Sorry guys and gals for the late post. Today was our rest day and we ended up just spining down the bike path to this cool little bakery. All in all we road about 2.5 hours. I plan on taking more pictures today. On our ride. It's looking like a hilly 4 hours.

I forgot to add...

I promised Gener that I would tell everyone about how, even though there ugly, his big white Rudy Projects sunglasses get the job done. They keep the wind, sweat, and anything else out of your eyes.
When we got back from the ice cream shop about a hour ago I got to see my first armadillo. Pretty freaking cool. I never understood how fast those things are.

Florida day 3.....

First let me say sorry to everyone about the errors in spelling and grammar in my blog. I do most of my blogging from a cell phone and I don't have spell check. I try people I try. I will happily email any of my blog postings to anyone for proofreading before I post just send me your email address.
Moving on.
Today we got in another great ride. I decided to hop in the car with Rob Frank and drive to the lake instead of riding down the road from hell. We drove out to the lake and spun around for about 40 min before meeting up with the rest of the group and really getting into the good stuff. I felt pretty good today and I tossed in an attack or two and ended up making a seven man break. Bryan, Keith, Gener, Wes, Rob G, GeneO and myself all got a good gap up the road and were rolling ok until the pace line fell apart. After that me GeneO and Wes rolled easy to the store. After that my ride was pretty uneventful. I had a nice chat with Bryan about how to get into vets school and about how he did in college. We rolled back to the lake and I hopped back into the car where Rob Frank and very nicely waited up for me before driving home. When we got home I made some early dinner and when Gener came home from finishing his ride then we went to Wes and Bryans
and I heard all about the end of the ride while me and Gener chilled in the insanely hot hot tub. All in all I got in about 2.5 hours today way harder then I had been riding earlier in the week. Tomorrow is a well earned and much needed rest day. I think me and a couple guys will roll easy up to a coffee shop and just chill for the day. I can't wait. Keep reading and I'll keep updating.

Florida day 2.....

Today we had a long day and road a little under 5 and a half hours. We got to ride with all the North Carolina guys today as well. They got in yesterday and, got a house by the lake that we use as the center of all of our rides. We road about a hour out to the lake, and on the way met with the NC guys. After that, we went and did a loop around Sugarloaf mountain the highest "peak" in Florida. It's about 200-400 feet above see level not much of a peak. Once we finished that we went on to drop off a few other guys and then went on another loop near some orange tree nusaries. I have to admit it's was a pretty tough day. We had some great pizza for dinner after, some of us got in the hot tub. Now it's time for my compression tights, lots of water, some more food, and some well earned rest. Tomorrow is going to be a longggggggg day.

Florida day one.....
After a long car ride with Big Mike and his wife Sally we finally got here. We road about 72 miles today, 3hours and 40min. Ride was just as beautiful as I remember from last year. Wes, Keith, and Bryan did some damage toward the end and ended up waiting up for me, Jason, and Jeff then waiting a bit more for big mike who toughed it out like a champ! A hard first day.
On another note, I got honor roll (all As and Bs on my semester report card!! I am super stoked for that.
I'm laying on the floor right now and were all getting ready to go get dinner. I'll post a picture and write more later.

Training...

I've been putting in some serious time on the bike. Nothing much else to report. I'm leaving for Florida this Friday and I will try and take up the role Bender had last year, and I will post daily once I'm down there with photos. I know my parents will like this since I am known for not calling when I'm away. Even when I went to Japan the only real communication we had between them and I was a few e-mails asking for more spending money (sorry mom and pop). Keep checking in and post some comments if your liking the blog, I'll try and improve my writing skills (I.e. Use of commas, spelling, sentance structure, etc.). The semester ended in my school and with that I get 3 new corses and a good chance to meet some new people. In my new marketing class we managed to meet everyone in the class, have a firedrill, and a guest speaker all in one class period. Aced my art final hoping to get that drawing back so I can post it up.

Comment, comment, comment.
