To Onyx!

Some of you may know we went up to Big Bear to rid the bike today. If you did not know that then you need to pay more attention to my Twitter and Blog, moving on.

So up this morning at 5:00, drink coffee, load the car, drink coffee, feed the dog, drink coffee....well you get the idea. Out of the house at about 6:30 and down the road. The morning temp was perfect here but not ridding here...dam.

Stop at Chick-fil-A for breakfast, very yummy and the first time we have had there breakfast menu. I had there chicken breakfast burrito, hash brown thingies, and part of a biscuit with gravy. I was hungry don't judge me!

We arrived at the Ranger Station on the corner of Bryant and Mill Creek Rd or Hwy 38. Got geared up and headed out on the road. *side note I had my saddle replaced under warranty, my LBS ROCKS! See Broke my Butt.*

I felt awesome! No leg pain so I decided that today was going to be a hard day in the saddle. I road within +/- 5 beats of my LT for the duration of the climb. Let's not make this sound all rosy and sweet..it was not. I still have a long way to go to get back into top shape. I felt my lower back giving out as I neared the top so that is a sign that the core work needs to be stepped up. Also the legs were a little pooped at i got within 4 miles of the top. So that is more work that needs to be done there also.

With that said (sound like Jillian Michaels) I made it to the top and felt great overall so I am on the right track.
