April 28 Day - 15

St George, Utah, century. This was a fun century with clear sky's, moderate winds, afternoon temps of 90 deg. The course was spectacular, climbing two mountains and cruising thought picturesque farm valleys and red cliffs. My Las Vegas Valley Bike Club friend, Dave, accompanied me from beginning to the end, which made the day interesting and time flew.

Total mileage for the week was 210. I should be getting ready.

April 21 Day - 20

Tour de Summerlin century. This was a tiring 100 miles with 3500' of climbing and temps of 70 deg. I finished itching and found numerous bumps over my body. It was a big mystery that night as I tried to figure out if could be bug bites or hives. Next morning it wasn't better, so went to the doc in a box, who diagnosed it as a recurrence of chicken pox. Who would have imagined! Am taking anti-viral and anti-itch meds and feeling better. Doc said to continue biking!

185 miles for the week and three spinning classes...getting in shape!

April 16 Day - 26

A sad day for Virginia Tech my alma mater. I am ramping up the training, biking three days a week and spinning at the gym three days a week.
