Quarter Rage

So 21 minutes on a fat bike!  I got 9th overall not sure if I'd do better on a mountain bike or not I might try that next time though

So daily updates...

Ya, not doing so well but here is somehting:

Short rides the last week with some higher intensity stuff.  I'm feeling pretty good about DK.  I also made it under 190lbs, but I'm not going to make the 180 goal :(

Ewing Park Mountain Bike Trail

I hit the new trail yesterday.  Not sure but looked to be either the first or second person to ride it.  Thanks Cita it appears to be another cool Des Moines trail!

Lots of log overs, this one is pretty cool.  moved a little though.

It isn't too skinny at least

As best I can tell the trail starts after crossing the bridge down by the play equipment.  Im not sure what way "forward" is but I rode it both ways and it works both ways.  I really wish I could have made it to one of the work days, but work and other obligations got in the way.
This trail will be a lot like Sycamore when it get burned in a little bit, but for the moment go slow look out for little sticks and scrub the poison ivy off your legs when you get home.

Day Off

Did some light riding yesterday, and yes I cheated and had a few beers....

Day 10

Well day 10 with NO BEER (actually no alcohol at all) and day 17 Vegan (cheated once).  I'm Down about 5-6 LBS and have 14 days to go to the target.  I decided to stop the diets 3 days before DK so that I can get enough food down for the race and maybe some of my sanity back.  So here is the test:  last night watching Man vs Food and eating broccoli and mushrooms...Really were is my ribs/pork sandwich/taco/etc....  It will pay off at the DK finish line.
