Two fer’
Man, yesterday it was crazy windy here in Boulder. Although temps were decent, the sustained 40mph winds with 60+ mph gusts kept me off the bike. Luckily, monday was a nice day and I put in a nice recovery ride to keep the legs stimulated.
Seeing as today was such a nice day, but I had a few things to take care of mid-day I did a two fer’. What’s a two fer’? Two workouts fer the same day! I was up plenty early to beat the wind and I waited till about 9am for the warmth and headed out the door to do some Sweet Spot Intervals. On tap was 4×10 min on 10 min off. It wasn’t too long that I was out the door that the wind really started picking up. Lucky for me, it worked out. I slammed the first sst on the dirt roads making my way north and the second one into the wind. Intervals 3 and 4 were done climbing up Lefthand Canyon. Nice gradual grade and I put down some good power!
After I wrapped up lunch and taking care of some work, I headed down to Marshall Mesa for a ride on the singlespeed. I haven’t been on the singlespeed in months, and the legs were plenty worn through from the earlier efforts of the day.
I pretty much just took it easy, and Lucky for me, my singlespeed is a rigid 29er, so I was able to pass thru the gate 
Trail was just rolling and rocky, great place to eek out another hour of fun on the bike. But it didn’t really stop there because when I got home I hit even more dirt. Wanted to make lizzy girl happy so I took her out for a run on the open space trails. She had a blast but is wiped out currently!
Tomorrow looks to be another gorgeous day, around 50 and sunshine, maybe I’ll head up to Gold Hill. Haven’t been there in a bit

Yeah, those pics make it look like great weather, though I agree on the wind–I’d have stayed home too!
