ALLISON MANN

This past week was pretty stellar on all accounts.

It rained Monday so I got myself in the gym for some core and upper body work.  Forgot mah Merrell Pace gloves, so had to wear “normal” shoes.  Soo weird.

Tuesday was a nice, though slightly chilly, day of intervals and making lots of food

Wednesday was a steady road ride after way too much stress at work, but it was nice and warm and required sunscreen

Thursday may just have been one of the best Thursday’s ever.

We took a vacation day, slept in, met up with some really cool Canadian mountain bikers, and I got to ride my new race bike. I didn’t even go that slow.

Friday was an easy road ride and chilling out at home

Saturday Justin had a bunch of bike work to do, and eventually we set off for a 4 hour road ride from Rock N’ Road Anaheim Hills down to the beach and back. Spectacular day and I wound up proper knackered (that’s for you, Steph!)

Tried to sleep in Sunday, but it just wasn’t happening. Got up, got breakfast, and headed south for a road/trail/road ride around Daley Ranch to break in the new bike some more.

Super awesome weather for the end of January. I couldn’t be happier.

Oh, right, I was thoroughly knackered Sunday after the ride too.

Nap. I can haz one?

Nah, we got home, made dinner, and I spent the evening eating.

More on the tasty goodness that is the Specialized Stumpjumper 29er hardtail soon. I promise.

Can’t wait to get a BG scan and fit done at Rock N’ Road on this bad boy!

Meantime, having a blast riding with this guy

Oh, and I’m back on sugar I think. Maybe it’ll help me get through my rides better.

Until next time…
