Maybe this is a break, the last 2 week's weekend outlooks indicated clear and calm, only after Friday afternoon did the bad winds appear. It doesn't seem to work that way, the high country is going to be a no go again:(
My bike is dialed in, I've been sticking to my spinning routine and my stamina is building up. In years past, the benchmark of leg strength is the existence of balanced spin, specifically an even rotation with noticeable upstroke power. This is my indicator, the legs will consider climbing the beautiful, beautiful Colorado verticals. For me, when this stroke is not established fun will not be had...oh, I'll summit, suck down lots of water and crash.
I'll not throw in on a return to Salida until Friday afternoons detailed forecasts...if they're like this, not going to fly the high country.
Obviously with Mother's Day there will be plenty of activities to fill up the days. I have to get an outdoor ride in, of some sort...maybe Lookout Mountain on my Road Bike?
The cool thing about spinning is it makes you jones for the real thing...writing this dripping in sweat:)
