Inane thoughts and insane ramblings

I have had a great weekend. Yesterday, David and I rode the Third Creek Greenway 13 miles to Neyland Stadium and Volunteer Landing, which was busy with crews getting ready for the Boomsday Fireworks. This greenway is a hilly, tree covered path that follows Third Creek. It crosses the creek 3 or 4 times and goes under 2 roads. It was a nice, but short ride. This morning he and I rode my Cherokee Blvd route also. I felt strong both days. On the hills, I felt light as a feather and danced on the pedals effortlessly. I rocked!!! I swear that maui thai kickboxing has made me better at cycling and basketball.

I need to head out on the road for a nice 50 miler next weekend. He and I are going to do the  MS Bike Tour: 2005 Jack Daniel’s Bike to Jack & Back in 4 weekends. It is a two-day, 150, 125,or 112 mile (depending on the route you choose) ride that goes from Franklin, TN to Lynchburg, TN, home of the Jack Daniels Distillery. I haven’t done an organized bike ride since 2001, so I am really looking forward to this. Cycling was a huge part of my life for 15 years but have gotten away from it this year, so I am glad to have a goal in mind to get my cute little butt in gear.

Damn, I’m in a good mood. It’s a beautiful weekend.  All is good in my world.
