Spring Has Sprung

Yes, as seen yesterday, Spring Has Sprung as 100s of bikers hit the roads. This week's ride took us to the mouth of Little Cottonwood and back to the top of Little Mountain, 3, 600+ vertical.  The Mikes, which have been absent for a while, brought the level of riding up several notches. There was a couple of riders that when falling behind decided to work on their singing, which paid BIG dividends as you will see/hear as they lead the group in a rousing choir of, Oh What A Beautiful Morning, Oh What a Beautiful Day.... :-) We're not the fastest riders, but definitely the MOST ENTERTAINING!

As we continue to train to wear of some of the winter fat, the legs are getting a little stronger and for some, SEXIER. Mike Trabert, who is shaving his legs, was nominated sexiest legs and is trying to convince everyone that it really helps you go FASTER....... NOT! You will also notice that many are asking for more video time as they become more comfortable in front of the camera... Lloyd, you have come a long way.

 

PS - Our Fashion Direct, Kim Briggs, wanted me to add the following from his recent readings from Martha Stewart. Kim we appreciate your keeping in touch with the latest fashions and the feminine side. If you have any questions about lawn care, call Steve Hale's wife...... SERIOUS!

STEWART'S '10 GOLDEN RULES' FOR AGING

Martha Stewart compares aging to a bonsai tree, which is revered in Japan and, with proper care, flourishes as it ages. Her "10 Golden Rules" for growing old beautifully, like the bonsai:

• Eat well - which includes bread and meat
• Maintain a healthy weight - http://www.webmd.com/diet/tc/healthy-weight-what-is-a-healthy-weight
• Stay physically active - ride with the PCRs often
• Get quality sleep - invest in a good pillow and get out early to ride
• Wear sunscreen - take your riding gloves off before applying
• Collaborate with a good primary care doctor regularly - check with Lloyd and Jensen
• Find your passion - and hope it agrees with your wife
• Connect with others - singing and doing interviews with Harley Mommas
• Stop complaining — change what you can, and accept what you cannot - check with Hale
• Stay curious - that doesn't mean walking in someones bedroom "without" knocking to get him up for the 7am call
