Default Jay T's Big Saturday Workout - 50K Club Report 4-3,4-04

Jay T's Big Saturday Workout 4-3-04:
It was a day typical of weekends around here lately. Sunshine, 40F
temps and a monster wind out of the northwest. Not wanting to fight
the wind again, I opted for the mountain bike and the local Bengel
Trail and Double Secret Probation Trail. Of course, I dressed for a
road ride for the listed temp. I was fine as I rode down to the trail.
Once I got into the woods, I started to roast as I was dressed way to
warm. Anyway, I enjoyed the singletrack and got in a good workout. By
the time I rode home, out of the woods, I was glad I had the warm
clothes on. The total time for the ride was 1 1/2 hours.

50K Club Report 4-4-04:
It was a cold morning with temps in the mid to high 30sF as I joined
Jerry Engen, Bill Stuber, John Wyland, John Schmidt, Jeff Arndt and
Mike (Reider?) for a road ride through the horse and hobby farm
country north and east of Saint Paul. Four of the guys rode mountain
bikes. I was one of the three who were on cyclocross bikes. We rode
north into a medium wind around Lake Jane, Lake Demontriville and then
on to the Gateway Trail. We took that northeast to County 15 where we
started the trip south back to Jerry's house. The tailwind on the ride
home was decent. The total time for the ride was 2 hours.

I'm just getting up out of bed after working last night ... sun dipping towards
the horizon, thermometer dipping towards freeezing ... *sigh* ... looks like a
hike in the woods followed by a vigorating roller board workout (again).

:^]

I see Marquette, MI still has 13 inches of snow on the ground !

Fresh off a one week vacation in SUNNY ORLANDO, FLORIDA ! 80 DEGREES,
HOT, LOW HUMIDITY.... Not much snow there either ! (saw some in an ice
chest) It felt weird to run in shorts and really, really sweat. We took
Spirit Air to Detroit and then drove north (4 hours) to our town (Gaylord).
On the way we had freezing rain, rain, and finally snow. Plus, I still have
LARGE snowbanks in my yard and a nice 100 yeard stretch of very skiable snow
on the golf course across the road - I think I'll hit it tomorrow. Today I
had another nice 12 mile run in prep for my May 29 Bayshore Marathon. Quite
a difference running in 30 degrees versus 80 !

I've been wondering about snow conditions in Gaylord. Amazing that you are
still skiing up there. Glad you had a nice southern trip.

Rode 1.5h on the new bike on Saturday trying to get used to the TT
position. The NW wind really cuts into your speed heading into it. The
difference was something like 15-18 on the way out, 25-31 on the way
back. Lots o' fun...

Sunday was my first day of paddling for the year. The cool temps meant
dressing like a ski day, complete with gloves. We paddled from Anoka
Fairgrounds 2hr+ upstream on the Rum River, and then back down. Rode
20K fixed gear w/ my wife at Afton in the PM. Guiness and a burger hit
the spot.

PS Canoe rookie night starts tomorrow night at Showboat Landing by the
UM. E-mail for more info.

Last weekend it was great, but its getting very slim.
I've decided to stick to running, the patches of snow are just too small !
On the other hand, my buddy was in Munising this weekend and they have a
foot of crust good for great crust skiing just about anywhere you want to
go... no trail needed ! Valley spur is also groomed, believe it or not !
