John’s Ramblings

My legs are a little tight this morning after last night’s squat and lunge exertions, so today is a deload day.  Work as usual, then maybe seek out a little carbohydrate goodness to start the weekend.

My nephew Kevin is joining me tomorrow for my third assault on Mt. Rainier.  Not mountain climbing in the traditional sense, but riding our bicycles 14 miles up Sunrise Road.  He’s only in town for the weekend, so we squeezed his schedule a bit so that he could see what a real climb is like.  Weather is looking to be ab-fab for the day, so I am totally excited to ride.  The views are always spectacular, and to ride it with Kevin will be a real treat.  It will also be interesting to gauge the difficulty of the climb now that I’m 30+ pounds lighter than last year.

We’re leaving here around 7 a.m.  I can’t remember the actual travel time to the Sunrise Gate of the park, but I assume that drive and prep time will put us in the saddle at around 9.  Come join the grunt-fest if you like.  Beer likely follows the ride.
