friday night

it's time to get down. into my bed and sleep, that is. this week kicked my butt, but, i did manage to get 6-7 hrs of nice technical singletrack mtb in again - nights and wknd. i'm definitely holding-off on climbing aboard the pain machine (indoor trainer) for as long as possible this year. jumped-on for a 45min grind in the biggest gear possible on wed, but it was just for kicks. i know the 3hr indoor sessions loom ... and i've begun hoarding dvd's in anticipation... but until it snows a ton, i'm trail riding and lovin' it! ... but i also know this relaxed attitude will cease to exist soon enough and it'll be back to basics, back to endurance training... but until i get the sense that it's ovah and time to get to 2006, i'm riding-out the remenents of a great 2005 season! wed was a cool ride in that it brought me over 500 saddle hours for the year, the most i've done to date. with 600+ planned for next year, i hope for some solid results...
