Thanksgiving morning started like all days should, I think... Waking up at the butt crack of dawn, layering well with cycling gear, stopping at Bucks for a morning latte and then hit the single track.
The TDR was a blast despite only Roger and I meeting up. We got to the park right at 8am, did some quick hellos, then strapped up our helmets and started the ride. Tolt trails is always a pretty good test to find out how your technical riding is, with its constant turning and root infested trails, not to mention the numerous bridges that have more recently been built. Rog and I would ride and chat, chat and ride and then a lot of the time just chat. Not having trained (if you can call yesterday training) with Roger since the prologue hike before PQ (he raced with team Kagome, while I made soup and set up the tent with Kenny and Rebeka for their late night returns). We talked of course about adventure racing, present and future goals both as athletes as well as people. It was one of those rides that you really come to enjoy, because you are truely sharing life experiences with someone other than yourself. I'm looking forward to many more training sessions with Roger and who knows, maybe I can talk him into racing with us sometime.
