Another fun, tiring weekend...

Duke getting a major drink... What a great weekend! Spring has really sprung. I felt really great to go on a ride at the Black Hills on Saturday and I asked Chris my boss and see if he wanted to come and he did. It was great to have Chris around and we talked about lot's of things during the ride. We did a lot of climbing and I felt great on this ride for some reason. We went like at 10:30 in morning and the weather was perfect. I like the Black Hill trails, there's no one else there and it has definitely great riding for a mountain bike. Riding on those trails can really give you a workout and get your heart rate up to 180 in some places. So really is a great spring training place for a racer/rider.
On Sunday morning, it was Stake Conference for the Ephraim Stake but that don't matter for me because I go to Singles Ward in Manti so there was still church but I really didn't want to go though so I didn't. Instead, I went on a easy ride on the leveled dirt roads on the base of the foothills in the back. I took Duke with me because he's been begging for a run all week. I decided to take him for a long time. We logged in 14.5 miles, Duke was really tired on the last 4 miles and just died. He drank a lot of water every time he saw water. He is really tired right now and sleeping. That should do for a week, maybe, according to Duke, he thinks he should run every time I go on a ride but sometimes I don't want to take him because the ride takes a lot longer when he comes with me, like I have to ride my bike slower, etc.
Overall, the weekend was a great biking weekend and no wind at all, nice!
