Tapering

Tapering, training less often and less intensively has always been difficult for me.  After 3600 miles and 6 months of road bike training, my body wants to go when I get on the bike.  Fortunately, my youngest children like to bike, so we've been off road riding on the farm, and the surrounding country roads.  We don't go far, but it keeps my legs loose, and ready ( I hope).  

Bikes Depart

Our 3 Specialized Roubaix bikes were shipped yesterday by UPS to San Diego.  

Pete at Badcats bike shop in Menomonie made sure they were expertly packed.

Without my road bike, I am tapering with my mountain bike, I guess.
