...I don't know what was weirder. The looks I got from skiers in the lift-line when they saw a bike roll up, or the look I gave the lift operator when he asked me if I wanted to drop into the terrain park...
So, I officially kicked off my annual "base-training" period this weekend. For an endurance athlete, it means piling on the long-slow-distance rides and letting the mind wander for hours of cold, windy pedaling. I've got a love-hate relationship with base-training...on the one hand, it means being on my bike a lot, which is great. On the other hand, being November thru March it means the temps leave a lot to be desired. And being a working stiff, it means I've got to make the most of the daylight hours on the weekends...
So the first training camp of winter has arrived....which is really nothing more than a few extra vacation days prior to holiday travel...
In the coming days I intend to earn my turkey and stuffing, so stay tuned...
