Welcome to California!

Well, it has been a month since my move, so it is about time I started getting back to writing about stuff that the three of you sometimes read.
My ride reports over the last month?  Four rides, three of them on a (wait for it (I hope you are sitting down))...on a road bike.  Yes, I have only been on the Single Speed once since arriving.  Why the disparity?  Well, when I arrived, my Niner had a flat tire and needed the brakes bled yet the road bike was ready to go.  Plus the first ride was just to ride around town to get to know the area.  But honestly, the scenery on road riding is fantastic in the Sierra foothills.  I definitely see a balance of road and mtb riding in my future (whereas in NC the balance was more like 4:1 toward mtb).  Now I can hardly wait for my new road (CCX) bike to show up.

Shhhh, don't tell the wife!

Riding in Tahoe.  6000' Elevation? Meh.

Unfortunately I have eaten too much of this....

and too much of this. 
 Gained nearly 10 lbs over the last 7 weeks...but the training and re-commitment begins now!
