Sunday's Ride

Sunday, 15th
This morning we slept in and slowly got into the day. Matt Potma got in late last night. He watched the prologue for the Tour of California yesterday afternoon up in Sacramento before he made his way down into Desert Hot Springs. This morning Matt was heading to the airport to pick up Mike Rothengatter, Ben Cowburn and Tyler Allison. When he left to the airport Evan, Owen, Kevin and myself headed out for a recovery ride around town. We were doing a super light ride to spin out the legs after the 5 hrs we spent on the bike yesterday. We rode for an hour and forty-five minutes. We were planning on a little more, but we still have some big days ahead of us this upcoming week. By the time we were finishing our ride Tyler, Matt, Ben and Mike were heading out to get some groceries. Tyler brought down a super comfy seat for me, it’s a carbon Fi:zi;k Aliante. Which is light but still feels like your sitting on a couch. Then we sat around and watched the live coverage for the Tour of California. Then we made an 8 egg, green pepper, tomato and ham stuffed omlet. As the night went on some of the other riders slowly started to arrive at the house. Steve brought the last two riders in at 11:30 pm. Now it was time to sleep and look forward to the ride tomorrow, which the weather forcast states is going to be a “rainy” day. Which were not looking forward to, as we came here for WARM weather training.
