The trails have been awesome this spring, thanks to a lot of work from a lot of people, and some good weather. Derek and I rode all of Palisades, up Rollercoaster and Rocky Road to Little Big Horn, Dust Bowl, Back 40, Gunnar and Julia. We then weaved through both pines before going down Fred's and climbing up New Randy's. We rode around up top of Dunning's for a while before riding Mother's Day and Lower Mothers Day and back home.
This past week has been the most I have ridden in a week, ever. I want to be able to compete this summer in some time trials and the long term goal is to complete a 24 hour race with a team, preferably, but if I have to, by myself. There are two races I am currently looking at: one is Salsa's 24 hour race in Bloomington and the other is 24 hours of 9 mile in Wausau. The race in Wausau conflicts with Nordic Fest and the race in Bloomingtom may conflict with school but I will be able to work my way around that. Both events are a long ways away and right now I am just concerned about getting into better shape.
I have not been able to get out and take any pictures on the bike yet so I will bring back some old memories from when I was little.
Mom and Dad definitely had me riding my bike early. I have so many memories from our trips to Lanesboro as a family and they are times I will never forget.
Hope everybody had a great Easter!

If you are going to do a 24 hour event, I would suggest Salsa 24. It is an awesome event. If you haven't ever done a 24 I would suggest doing this one with a team. Compared to decorah, same amount of climbing yet not as technical. 24/9 is a fast fairly flat course. If you are soloing, do this one. Have fun!
You are right - you haven't changed much! The nap was probably because you raided the candy jar :)
