Home is good

June 10, 2010

I’m always amazed how fast time goes by at home. It was great to be home here in Victoria for a little over a week. Stepping off the plane last week into pissing cold rain was just a tad different than Austin!

I took a couple off days and got caught up with all the household stuff that incurs, which is never-ending. I bought this house partly because of its low maintenance, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t anything to be done.

I got out for a great hike on Wednesday, and found some sweet new mtb trails. I also got out for a stellar afternoon road ride, although I almost got blown over in the gusting winds. I love exploring, and finding new trails near Victoria. I can’t praise this place enough for it’s unreal mtb training grounds. I did some pretty hard intervals Thursday and the sun was out too. Had a perfect easy day Friday and then did 2 back-to-back big mountain bike rides on the weekend. Saturday was perfect sunny weather but Sunday was pouring rain start to finish. It’s really important to keep up those wet/muddy riding skills.

It was a perfect off day yesterday, and back at ‘er today with some spicy hard stuff, looks like the sun is here to stay. I am sure people in Socal have no idea what I am talking about. I also got in the first swim of the year yesterday here at the nearby Thetis Lake; wow, am I ever looking forward to the summer!

Shred!
