Birthday weekend

Well, Saturday I participated in a 4 person Co-Ed team at the "Tree-Farm Relay", first lap was muddy/scarey and the second lap I was sure I had completed minutes faster but it turned out to be only 1 minute 10 seconds faster. I think maybe riding the trail more often I can turn 45 minute laps into 41 minute laps. Sunday did a LSD (Long-slow-dull) ride, with an even slower lap through the Lake Orion high School trail. I am thinking next weekend I will do Bloomer/Lake Orion HS on Saturday with some back roads at a slightly fast pace and by myself. Then Sunday a back road ride of at least 40 miles. YTD Miles: 2828.05
