Ben at Lookout Mountain

With my two massive rides back to back looming ominously on the horizon, I’m trying to find enough time to train . I made out for bit from the casa to Golden, riding up Lookout Mountain then home. Almost fiddy miles, lots of time out enjoying the day.  Ride profile is below.  I just might make it through the 500 miles in a week!

So I just finished a road loop around the lake. It is almost maybe starting to feel like I’m supposed to be out riding those things again. Nice little 12.6 mile loop tonight. Hopefully I can step it up a leetle on the weekend.

Did a combo ride (by two counts) today around Standley lake. Combination of dirt and roads – also combined two different rides I do in the area. Josh and KT joined me for the fun.

At the top of Lee Hill Rd. on my bike. Fourth or fifth ride this year – OUCH! Map to follow shortly – I hope I make it back over old stage

Well, with a couple weeks under my belt I thought I should fess up.  I’m keeping up with the physical activities part of the game.  I have either ridden my bike, or gone to the gym 4 times per week.  Automation of financials will be done the end of this week.  As I write this it is more consecutive posts than the past few months.  I’ve been working through some books/tapes about hebrew and my ideas of where this passive income may be coming from.  I don’t plan to flip a switch and have it all done, but I am inching as much as I can for now.

On another note, this weekend made for some awesome riding.  Saturday was a group mountain bike ride up the old “Monday Ride” route.  We spent quite a bit of time climbing chimney gulch and up to the Nature Center, then descended Apex Trail, opting for the Sluicebox-Pick N Sledge loop.  Today held a 3.5 hour roadie ride starting in the Highlands neighborhood, going out through Golden, around the southern side of Bear Creek Lake and back.  A bit windy, but 60-70 degrees F both days.  A little warming just before the snow.  Right now, I am satisfied with how tired I am from the weekend.  Confident I’ll sleep well for a head start on the coming week.
