Beijing Olympics
How in the hell will the athletes breath? The smog is so thick it looks like a sand storm.
Look you can see it from space.
I'm shaken my head

Cycling High
I took the road bike out for the fifth time this season. I set out to do around 1800’ feet of climbing at the distance of 22.3 miles. The last 1.2 miles of the climb is in that dreaded Hors category which means beyond classification in the racing community. I started out slow bring the pace up at the three mile mark. That’s when the grade of the climb starts to increase then turns back in to long roller types of hills. This is when that Cycling High kicked in. That blood pumping, vein bursting, I can do anything came to bear. The feeling of being unstoppable while climbing is the best drug MONEY CAN’ BUY!
So go out and find that one climb that you love. Then totally destroy it. It does the body good. Even as I write this I’m still feeling the effect of this high that money can’t buy 16 hours later.

Titus Mountain Ski Trip
Saturday March 26
It was a perfect late season skiing day bright sunshine, temps 25-30F and light winds from the north.
So Colleen wants to learn how to downhill ski and she asks me to teach her. This ought to be interesting I have never taught anyone to ski before lets see if I’m up to the task at hand oh boy!
Turns out that she seems to be a natural at skiing 3 quick runs and only 2 wipeouts on the bunny slope. She’s ready for some bigger trials like “The long way Home” a couple more runs on the easy stuff without a wipeout not bad at all. I’m thinking to myself let me see what she got. Follow me trust me (evil grin--she should know better then to follow me)
I knew perfectly well we we’re heading towards a black diamond run. I was impressed she skied the whole run slowly but she made it.
I’m still laughing about the 2 lift incidents we had. I’m going leave that story for another day I have no idea what she was thinking OMG.
Peace
Long Way Home
