Note
Now here's what I call a great surprise for an unsuspecting touring cyclist:

Cycling 2:00:00 [3]
Out with Bash and Coach LD up in Horseshoe.
We found a lot of nice singletrack, from flowy valley climbs to technical rooty ascents, to woo-woo swooping downhills. I also had a very loud blowout flat, and lost my valve from my hydration hose, but a refill from a friendly homeowner had us back on track. Lots more riding we haven't explored yet out there.
Great ride!
Goose spent the time on his rollerskis.

Strength (Home Gym) 1:00:00 [2]
Workout #3 + leg strength- I hid downstairs while Bash and Gstix hatched devious plans for WT '11.
Cycling 1:05:00 [3]
Nice cruise of Palgrave singletrack and the nicely mown doubletrack.
One section's not mown, and I had an odd mechanical- the massive weeds loosened off my cassette lock ring and it jammed, right in the buggiest possible spot.
Got it fixed, but didn't manage to snap any deerflies out of the air with my teeth a-la Harps.

Cycling 1:45:00 [3]
Out around Albion with Bash, then off to work after.
Bash hammered out a solid tempo but it was no match for my ferocious acceleration where the Haute Categorie climb kicked up steeply.
I didn't attack though when the Pink Jersey of Bash was down with a broken spoke, but returned to the peleton to effect repairs.
Those clay sections are so fast and grippy when dry, as opposed to the sticky, slimy goop when wet.

Running (Barefoot) 1:05:00 [3]
shoes: Vibram FF Trek
Out with Bulletdog in the early part of the day. Palgrave East loop with 3 swims for the hound. Legs felt fairly light and quick, but my knee was getting touchy on the return, despite my attempts at the best Chi running style.
Note- The doc has referred me to a specialist to see if they can fix the meniscus tears.
