I'm back

I've been blogging in my head lately, just haven't had the time to write it down, but here I am. This past week has been spring break. I love the freedom of riding when I want to, sleeping when I want to, and doing pretty much what I want to, but I know that's only temporary, but that's what vacation is for right?
Tuesday My coach and I met in Landrum and began a long climbing ride. We rode up to Tryon past Natures Storehouse onto the climb at Pearsons Falls, up the Saluda Grade and into Saluda. We headed down the mountain and hooked on Hogback. I was not feeling great by this point so I had a terrible climb up Hogback. We headed into Tryon and stopped at the Natures Storehouse where I met an amazing man. I'm pretty sure that most of the cycling community of the upstate and western North Carolina know or at least know of John Cash. If you know him you know exactly what I mean when I say amazing man. If you do not, I hope that you can meet him some time and you will see his passion for cycling, friends, and overall life.
I went to the Isle of Palms on Wednesday just for the night and had fun with sis, cuz, and friend. I got kind of sunburned, and I had to cut my mountain bike ride at Paris Mt. state park short because my sunburn was killing me. Did about 80km. today and felt good. Gonna do a good recovery ride tommorrow.
Ronde van Vlaanderen (Tour of Flanders) is tomorrow. I've got big hopes for Big G. Hopefully his BMC team can lead him to the victory.We will see.
