Forgot some stuff at work that I need to take away with me next week so no choice but to head back over the weekend. So, I turned it into a ride from the 400 and back. The ride back was 10 min slower from the uphill and the heap of extra weight on my back.

Up to Castlederg and back trying to keep up with GooseJR - sure he was in the stroller but he always managed to keep just in front of Goose and I. Goose was much better practiced than I on the downhills - he let it fly making it very difficult to keep up with.

Attack of the killer bees on Patterson this evening. Goose escaped harm, however, what must have been an invisible fleet of bees started by stinging my ass and then went in for the kill by going for my left eye. My sunglasses prevented this death knell but it stung my eyebrow instead. Reeling, I swatted my glasses and the assailant away. Goose was agog at my ability to stay on the bike in light of the swarming. He mentioned that the last time that happened to him, he had trouble stopping properly as it was difficult to see through the streams of tears.

La Femme and I made the most of being at Bark Lake on a sunny Sunday by going back out on the RockstAR MTN bike course for some UNE training. Lots of hills to huff and puff our way up which was tough work on our sore legs after 8 hours yesterday.
