I just put another great weekend in the books and things couldn't be better.

I got in some good saddle time this weekend starting with a road bunch ride on Saturday morning. I threw down some attacks on my Specialized Pro SL to test the fitness and by all indications, I'm starting to turn the corner and regain some of the form I had in 2008. To bad the team "blogger" couldn't hang and take a couple pulls for me, we might have been able to stay away from the chase group.

On Sunday morning, I hopped on the S-Works 29 HT and met up with "Big Ring" Billy for a session in Santiago Oaks. Bill's just scored a 2010 S-Works 29 HT and has been getting the bike dialed in over the past several weeks. The new bike and paint scheme is really trick.

We hit some great trails and the "Oaks" really offers a variety of terrain, especially for us down here in So. Cal. Between some technical single track and sketchy rock drops, to fast, flowy trails hidden under a canopy of trees, the Oaks is some of the best riding to be found in Orange County hands down.

My other time was spent on H.P. (House Patrol) since I've got the mother in law coming into town this week for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. That meant catching up on tons of laundry, vacuuming, dishes and all the other stuff that get's ignored during the work week.

Till Next Time,

The Red Cowboy
