I spent the last 7 days feeling like someone had stuffed cotton up my rather large nose. It's amazing how bad a simple cold can make you feel. I haven't had a good one like this in a year. According to my training book once you start to increase the hours you become more susceptible to catching something. I had just finished a 12.5 hour training week when I felt that little scratch at the back of my throat. It's disappointing to find out that I'm not above these kind of things.
After 7 days off the bike last nights ride was like being let out of a cage. The roots seemed smaller and the trees further apart. The full moon over Piney Z lake was just a bonus.
I've got over half the course arrowed for the Tour Of Amsterdam on March 3rd. I hope I have made it easier to follow than last year. I used some different trails and hit some of the same stuff only from the opposite direction. The poker run format adds a little fun plus a chance to win some swag. You can just hammer and ride it like a race or put it on cruise control and enjoy the scenery.
Please help me pass the word about this event. It's not every day we get to ride on something completely different and it's for a good cause.
