I wouldn't have ever guessed that in the middle of January, I would have in more days of biking than skiing. I'm not complaining one bit other than wondering if I'll get my money's worth out of my Sundance pass. The squaw peak / lunch meeting rides continue.
Friday, Kenny set a blistering pace up squaw peak. Ricky kept up, and I fulfilled my lanterne rouge role. The conditions of the trail had completely changed. The snow was packed down and the tires were gripping. It was practically like riding on the dirt.
Late afternoon on Saturday, I made a quick run up to the lookout again. The trail conditions continue to change--With all of the sledders, snowmobilers, and 4 wheelers, the trail is becoming a sheet of ice. Climbing is still great, but I was a bit more cautious on the descent.

Total for week - 6 Points + 1.5 bonus of 3 = 9 Points
Here is Coach Dan's point system.
The points start over every week. Each day is worth up to a max of 3 points Only 6 days a week count for points (you have to take at least one day a week off) Points are earned doing only aerobic activities as follows: (weight lifting is cool, but no points for it)
1 point for each:
1 hour of outdoor cycling
1 hour of hiking, snowshoeing, or backcountry skiing
45 minutes of indoor cycling (trainer or spin class)
45 minutes of cross country skiiing
30 minutes of running
30 minutes of swimming
At the end of the week if you scored at least 1 point over 4 consecutive days, total points for the week are multiplied by 1.25 (25% bonus). If at least 1 point was earned over all 6 days, total weekly points are multiplied by 1.5 (50%) bonus. No fractions of points. So if you ride for 90 minutes, you get 1 point. You have to complete the 2nd hour to get the second point. With that said, riding 3 hours every day gives you 18 points, plus the bonus puts the total max points for a week at 27.

Good work.
If I wouldn't have been sick this weekend I would have gone out for a ride. Really.
Isn't it nice to get up above the inversion? Nice pics and nicer bike.
