This past weekend was a bust. Mother's day, soccer, violin, ballet etc. all took precedence over my riding. Plus, the weather was shit. I managed to sneak out to the club for 75 minutes on the spinning bike, though. Stayed at quite high intensity, and did 3 out-of-the-saddle climbs; 10 to 12 minute each. Felt pretty strong.

We'll do the "big easy" last ride this weekend for sure, then the bike goes into the bag.

Mark Carli gave me a cycling nutrition booklet. Excellent suggestions on diet before, during and after an endurance ride. It's a quick read that both of you should look at, I'll bring it along.

Hockey today, weights tomorrow, spinning after that for the rest of the week.
