Arkansas Spring Training/Climbing

I'm going to Arkansas this coming weekend.  The guys from down here introduced me to these mountains.  I've been on the trip twice now, and climbed one of the Mountains 3 times. I love it.  This trip might be the highlight of my year.  Looks like we're gonna do it once in the spring and once in the fall, in October.  here are the rides.

Being Sick

I've been sick over the Holidays.  It's kept me off my bike for about three weeks.  I really don't take good health for granted now. I think I'm going to try and ride my bike today.  The last time I rode was Christmas Eve 2012.  I hope it's not too rough getting back in shape.  I'm probably going to stick to my usual training plan of 6 to 10 hrs a week with high intensity in the middle and when I can.  This year I hope to add more 5hr rides on the weekends. As for getting back in shape I think I'm going to just see what I can do the first week.  Then try to do three days of big miles back to back.  Hopefully this will help me be able to handle the high intensity again soon.

   At least it's warm here today.  It's already 72.3 out side.  It's been raining a lot lately.  It rained a lot this morning but hasn't rained for a couple of hours.  Any way gotta start getting in shape.
