It's Just Not Going to Happen

AoMM, Caesars Head, Roan Moan, and if I can't start riding with regularity, The Blue Ridge Breakaway, aren't going to be ridden by me.  A month ago, I was encouraged to go on and give AoMM a shot, but since that time, I've ridden all of once a week, on average.  That kind of riding wont' get me to Marion, let alone up Mt Mitchell.  Oh well...the mountain will be there tomorrow.  Will I?

So, this year, just like last year, I'm going to be "Enjoy the Ride, Ride for the Enjoyment" until I gain some of my fitness back.  It sucks.  But, instead of letting it keep getting me down, I'm trying to stay positive and do what I can, when I can.....

No rides planned for now except The Blue Ridge Breakaway in August.  I've started walking too and will continue to do that - need to build the legs up for hiking later on this month and next month.  It's been almost a year since I went to South Mountains and hiked in 4 long, steep, hard miles to the campsite.  I don't know if I'll go to South Mountains this time, but I'd like to go somewhere to get in a 4-6mi hike to campsite and then back out in the next day or so.  I might look about taking the dog, but not sure on that one yet....

For now...that's all. :)
