Alo dear reader,

Another weekend, another ride.

Monday seems like a weekend for this fool as I tend to fill my Mondays with fun.

Zeke and I were at it again. Today we took it easy - just fifty miles today. It felt like a break from the 100 mile rides we’ve rolled through over the last two weekends.

Zeke’s preparing for an ultra endurance race at the end of the month.

We started our ride on the pipeline trail. It follows the gas line out towards Fall river.

It’s a nasty piece of work to ride. I’ve fallen more than twice there. It’s technically demanding composed of large rocks the size of small dogs that want to bite you, knock you to the ground then shit in your mouth.

Zeke, funny enough loves this trail.

I wish the whole race were like this he said as he spun along like a bee flitting from flower to flower.

I could keep this pace all day.

I didn’t doubt it. Zeke’s a bit like a mountain goat. He moves in a way such that he doesn’t seem to touch the ground.

That race though? It’s a bit too much…
