April 25th - Shipped Bike To L.A.

Two weeks from today, I will fly to L.A. I shipped my bike today by FedEx so that I won't have to hassle with trying to take it on the plane with me and take a chance on it not being transferred when I switch planes mid route. I also plan to ship part of my baggage so that I will only have one carry-on bag to be concerned with.

I now have my spinner, a one-speed mt. bike, and a tandem left to train on for the next two weeks. I'll also be tapering off and resting up the last week.

I have finally gotten a few longer rides in outside, including a century. We have had several days when it got into the 60's and even 70's. However, we have also had quite a few very rainy days. It is supposed to be in the 30's tomorrow morning. Farmers generally have most of their crops in by the end of April, however, this year, they have only had three or four days in the field. It has been a long winter.
