3 weeks/ 20 years

Off the bike for 3 weeks, longest stretch in 20 years.

Excuses since DFunkes B day ride; Rt IT Band/ knee, face rash- chest rash- time in the weeds building bike trails, lymes disease? (nope), blacked out (electrolyte imbalance), mid back muscle agony, Ring work that moves, ring finger -crash at Piedmont, now the worst of these- inflamed bursa of the hamstring/ left sit bone (ass).

C5 get's it done, no excuses either.

But hey, we got a bike trail built down here, I just can't ride it...

No Quarter.

Everything can be related to a Led Zeppelin song...

More time has been spent lumping in the woods working on new trails then 'training'.

Speed on a bicycle has dropped drastically... New trails are done, volunteer force is in place and sustained, focus can shift back to the bike...
.

Trailwork dirty clothes don't leave the garage.

The last medal won for a race... Is the time spend toiling over bicycle speed worth it? At some point priorities change and time is better spend elsewhere.

Choose a path where no one goes... They hold no quarter.

Zeppelin and winter is coming.
