century and a rest day

so since i couldn't make it to durango this weekend to race there, i decided to try to put in some pretty serious miles this weekend. Yesterday i headed out with several guys from the CU team for a century. the weather wasn't too favorable when we started, around 35 degrees, but it warmed up to around 45-50 during the ride, which was nice. The "course" took us on all roads that i've ridden on before, which is something i'll have to make changes to the next time i want to do a long ride. we rode north to lyons, then east and north to carter lake, through berthoud (where we stopped for some amazing carrot cake), back into town on county line road, then scott (my roommate) and i continued on to finish off the 105 miles with a lap of the koppenburg circuit.

today i wanted to ride, but didn't sleep much last night, so i napped and hung around the apartment instead. This week i'm gonna put in some hard hours (intervals and otherwise), and try to race at least 2 races next weekend so i can feel like i've deserved the whole of spring break off the bike. yikes! just the notion of not being able to ride for a whole week scares me. maybe i'll go for a little ride while i'm home some afternoon, or i'll hit up the stationary at one of the hotels in vegas some morning just to keep the legs moving. stupid snow...
