Sports Basement Sunday

This may not be nearly as exciting to any of you as it was to Jenny G and I. We took a trip down to the Sports Basement in search of some items for our trip. Who knew that finding an appropriate "stuff" bag could be so difficult. There were multiple sizes, weights/materials, closures (draw string, snap, etc). Then we had to determine how many of these "stuff" sacks we needed. After this (which was seriously 20 minutes long) (imagine the two of us hounding the sales person at the Basement), we moved on to the mirco fibre towels. Which sizes to get, which fabric, etc. We started the selection process (much like the stuff bag) all over again. After roughly 1 hour at the Basement, we came home with a new sleeping bag (for Jen M.), a few stuff bags, micro fibre towels, and mini bungee cords. The shoe selection was "no bueno" so we moved on. All-in-all, it was a good trip.

Saturday - Training Day #1

Well, Jenny G. and I hit the road for our first official day of training. I coaxed Ms. Grace into riding the Sausalito Hill and...success! While the ride wasn't terribly difficult, it was still 27 miles (according to Jen's bike). We got Sausalito Hill in there AND it was the first time in months either of us have been on the road for any kind of distance. It was a good afternoon!

Looking forward to more training and getting ready for our trip!
