1 week

till the CSG race. I can't wait, last year this was the race I signed up for but never did. I decided to play basketball instead. How did that go? Not good we lost the first game of the tourney. This year I didn't sign up for b-ball so I will have no excuses for not racing.
As for this last weekend I got my bike back on Saturday and later that afternoon I rode Wilderness. Wilderness is rough but it was still a good ride. I met up with Millhouse on the way out of the park and went riding with him for a little bit. Total miles for the day 28. I was hurting after that but it was something I needed to do before this weekend.
Sunday I made it to Branched Oak and put in two laps around the entire course. I even went out through the grass area which is boring but I wanted to see what it was like. Total miles for the day 13. I should of went one more but I had to get back.
Today I think will be a rest day. Legs are a little sore and I don't want to over do it this week before the race. I need to return my bike to the shop for some adjustments and hopefully it will be ready for this weekend.
Oh also I talked to a guy at Branched Oak and asked him if he new about what way the race will go. He told me it could go either way. I guess one year the went one way and the other years they went the other way. I should of asked what his name was but I forgot. I've been riding the course backwards and I bet it will be going the other way come Sunday..

When we rode is a couple weeks ago was the same route they ran last year but your probably right it will probably be different this year and riding a course in a different direction than your used to is completely different.

Are you going to head out to Branched Oak before Sunday again? I would like to if I can find the time.

I'm going to try to. I'm kind of wondering what the rain did to the course last night. Tomorrow night would probably be the only time I would get a chance. I'll let you know if I'm going to go.

Ok let me know, I see more rain for the rest of the week. We might have some mud to play with on Sunday.

I'll be in if there is a trip to BO this week. One more ride before the weekend would be good.

We might be playing in the mud Sunday.
