Saturday: solo 4 1/2 hr road ride (on the MTB) aiming for HR zone 2 for long low intensity base miles. Goal reached! I set my Garmin 305 to alert for the zone and tanked up with 2 bottles of Hammer Perpeteum set off at 7am in light snow. It was cold but no blizzard as was predicted- 1/2" of powder and 1" of salt on the roads. I went out to the great swamp then got lost and ended up in Chatham and Morristown before navigating my way to Livingston and back home with the useful compass feature on the Garmin. My bottles were freezing in the cage so I had to thaw them in my pocket to get a drink, my toes also froze because the chem-warmers didn't work!

Sunday was a high intensity ride with Eric on the trails. My bald rear tire sucked a little less when I let nearly all air out to gain some traction, my Stan's sealant held and I was happy with a lot more cush on the hardtail as a bonus! I was expecting to have no legs after Sat's ride but the Hammer Recoverite did it's job and I had plenty of energy, I felt like I could ride a more but instead I took Sasquatch Jr. skiing at Mountain Creek. We bumped in to a dude I race against, he's racing on a carbon 29er superfly this year... looks like the necessity to dump another $1500 for a ASR-Carbon Yeti frame upgrade is getting clearer!
