It's been a couple of weeks since my mishap with the Stumpy. With the time drawing near for Santa's visit I have opted to ride my old school Raleigh in the garage. Riding the trainer while listening to Christmas music, while not like riding the roads or trails, is nice. I can even sing along to some of the tunes without doing irreparable harm to someones eardrum.
This past weekend was amazing. On Saturday, we celebrated grandson Tanner's fifth birthday with a Winter Olympic themed party at his house. Afterwards, we took off for Santa Cruz to ride the Christmas Train. What a great treat it was to see Santa and Mrs. Claus. What a great surprise for Tanner as all on board sang Happy Birthday to him. We got back home about 1:30AM and just passed out into bed. Sunday morning, off to chruch and then dinner with friends. A great weekend indeed.
I should point out that Tanner recently became the proud owner of a Specialized Hot Rock BMX bike. On Thanksgiving Day, Tanner showed me his stuff as he sped up and down our street. Way to hammer Tanner ... you sure are fast.
So, back to the trainer. I've acutally been using it all year when time did not permit me to embark on one of my usual 2-3 hour rides. One thing for sure, you know it is cold when ones breath is visable in the garage with the door closed. The goal is two sessions of about 40-minutes daily. I'll let you know how that goes. If it doesn't rain tomorrow night I'll be out there on the Stumpy once again. No flat tires this time.
