sixes on the way

Went into the woods on the MTB again and headed in the same direction but ventured further from home this time. I kept going on that multi-use trail until crossing Vermillion and continuing up to where it throws me onto Owatonna. I would cut thru Fryberger Arena grounds and enter Hartley Park on the north side. Once across the pond I would roll in the pines before checking out the new bridges Adam Sundberg constructed w/a COGGS group he assembled not long ago on the west side of the swamp. Wow, a couple massive extensions that'll surely eliminate damage in the spring by those w/o respect! Also, there was a reroute on higher terrain to increase sustainability. Before leaving I would stop by the Nature Center to drink my juice pouch and return passing thru cemeteries and singletrack along the river back in the Lester area.

Duration: two hours

**Beginning next week I'll go for consistency w/my choice of rest scheduled on Mondays. It's been quite awhile since an attempt was make by me to train more regularly. The motivation is definitely there and I'll certainly take some risks to improve rapidly as the '09 calendar will start w/a big bang...
