20.2 mph avg pace tonight. They changed the inside loop back to the original sprint, straight up the hill to the back gate without the detour. I was able to be there for the sprint tonight (inside the park) for the first time. I’ve been just holding on the the pack. Somewhere around 7th but I was just happy to get there with some legs left. Managed 3rd on the end sprint as well.
Cabinets are in town to be delivered next week! They came and measured / did some prep work today. Leslie got her office setup AND a new table for Aidan.
I wouldn’t say he eats well by any means but he is expanding his horizons. He has reciently eaten an apple (whole), corn-on-the-cob, chicken salad and part of my taco tonight. Though he would prefer to eat chips for every meal.
Finally got back to the gym this week and hit the usual BikeSouth ride. 19 mph avg pace. Won both sprints again but this time, for the last one, I decided to hammer off the front at the top of the downhill (about 1 mile from the sprint line at the top of the climb). Ouch.
1/2 Bath is done – new pedistal sink, trim, paint, floor and toilet guts. Lighting still sucks and we need a mirror and accessories but the “construction” work is done in there. Leslie’s office is done – new carpet, new trim and new paint. Base trim installed over wood floors.
Dana placed 3rd overall and Michelle took first in all 3 events taking the overall win. Way to go! The whole family went out and watched the crit race on Sunday.
2 Hours 11 Minutes, 2021 feet of climbing, 9 mph avg speed – not bad for a 2 hour ride and not having been on that bike for a while. I had to stop because I started to tear a hole in my hand from the grip shift. 5 loops.
OK show. Didn’t compare the to last time I saw them. The opening band was terrible in every sense of the word (the fall of troy). The sound in the Tabernacle just does’t cut it anymore with better venues like Earthlink Live and the Gwinett Civic Center. The band must have been high, drunk or just plain out of practice including the guy running the board because every band member made mistakes, bad notes, missed cues, effects at the wrong time, etc. Chino even starting singing at the wrong times… with all that said, it was still better than not seeing them.
In an effort to save the dogs from the nail gun of the flooring going in and to give them a break from the heat of the summer, they got a little trim.
Pics of the finished fireplace. Half the wood floors are in. The rest has to wait until the kitchen cabinets go in.

Kitchen electrical rough in done. Fireplace done (except for the final coat of sealer). All drywall patching is done. Doorway trim done. Living room, hallway, foyer and kitchen walls and ceiling painted.
Fun ride, good size group. Took both the sprints. (up till 2 grouting the fireplace)
SufferFest team rides again. Dana, Joe, Matthew and I took a loop around the RockMart area. (finished day 2 of stone for the fireplace)
Leslie finished in 3:24:53. Unfortunately Aidan and I couldn’t attend (the electrician was roughing in the kitchen). Leslie says thanks for the shout outs from Dana, Joe and Heather. Vanessa and Kelly had great races as well.
Held at the Federal Reserve, Ben talked about the new features that “most likely” will be included in ColdFusion 8, to be released some time mid year. Some of the highlights for me were the image editing tags, ajax support, incorporated FCK editor for textarea, multiple threads (which Blue Dragon currently does), interaction with exchange server, PDF manipulation and finally some built in admin monitoring tools.
Wood floor delivered (it will sit for the next week to “acclimate”). New doorway trim purchased and delivered (for all interior doors). 1/2 bath demo’d and wall paper removed. Electrical and cable finished in living room. Drywall finished in living room.
Big group today. I saw Kelly before the start (she went on loop #1). Normal pace 18.8 avg mph. Dropped my water bottle early on and had to go retrieve it. Remling made it out but got a flat in Avondale. Won both sprints today. Fun ride.

Base ride alone this morning. It’s been 5 weeks since I’ve been on a longer ride. I enjoyed the quiet time. Need more miles but it’s easier with training buddies - back to training with Joe, Dana, Matt and Joe. 3 Hours 7 Minutes, 149 avg hr. Managed to keep 19.5 mph for the first 2 hours and stay at the top end of my base zone. More hills at the end, poor pavement and getting tired slowed me down to an 18.3 avg. Faster than the winter base training but less distance and not sharing the work load.
