I’m starting to realize that the amount of fun I’m having can be measured in reverse proportion to the number of blog posts I’m making. I know it shouldn’t be this way, and that I should be sharing all the cool bike rides and adventures, it’s just well, I’m exhausted. And delighted. And loving this spring!
This past weekend was lovely and I got in a few great rides. My neck seems back to it’s pretty ok old self and I can’t seem to stay off a bike for long at all – a good thing! Also – and this is great news – I found a bike shop in Napa valley that will receive my bike and help me tune it up properly before the Century. Good stuff and necessary since I really don’t have the tools on hand out there to do it myself. With only a little more than a month to go until the ride most of my spare time has been focused on preparing for the trip and for what will certainly be a long and beautiful ride.
I also was able to book my hotel in Napa and it is super nice. Since my dear friends Brenda and Chip will me staying with me the cost isn’t too outrageous either! How awesome is it that I get two of my very favorite people to cheer me on, all the way out in Cali? I haven’t seen either of them since their wedding in Richmond (on my bday last year!!) and I’m really looking forward to some quality r&r with them after this Century is in the bag.
Century. in. the. bag?
Wow, I can’t wait until I can say I’ve done it and not just that I’m “doing it”. It feels great to be working toward such a goal, but to have that goal completed? Not so bad either! 
Well time to make some tasty dinner before I get too crazy hungry. It’s amazing how much more I eat in the warmer months, all the time outside makes me hungry! I’m thinking a whole wheat wrap with hummus, zucchini, yellow squash, roasted red peppers and spinach. And some hot sauce I think. Yum.
Have a great night!
