Chris "Krash Man" Pope

Why does it have to rain on the day I wanted to do a long ride?  I did 15 miles at the gym while my kids were at dance class.  Then did another 10 at work.  

 25 miles for the day. 

Easy ride around.  Dropped natalie off at piano lessons and then rode for 5 miles.  Picked her up and then went home.

5.3 miles

It was a great day to get out and ride.  I dropped the kids off with my wife at school.  Her classes were having a party at the end of thier CRT testing and my wife wanted the kids to come.  So I rode from here school on Wasatch Blvd and about 4100 S, north over the bridge way over Parlys Cannyon.  Then took the back way to the zoo and up Emigration Cannyon for about 4 miles.   Turned about and went back to Lauries school.  It was a tough ride.  I haven't done that much hill climbing this year. 

19 Miles.

First 30 mile ride of the year.  My wife and I started about 5000 S and 5600 W.  Headed south on side roads and has some up hill climbs to about 10000 S.  Droped down to 4000 W.  It was all down hill to from there except my climb up 4700 S to 5600 W. 

5.5 mile ride

Did 8 mile with my long time buddy Clinton.  It was an easy ride because he hasn't biked in years.  I am hoping he will keep it up so I will have some one to bike with.

Salt lake Century

It was a great day for a long ride.  I did the metric century. I thought is was a 67 mile ride but ended up to be 71.  I biked it with my co-worker Emily.  We had a blast. The route was flat 93% of the time and that made for a fast race.  We started at the fair grounds on north temple and headed on back roads all the way north the antalop island blvd in syracuse.  If I had done  the 100 miler I would have went all the way to antalop island.  With about 10 miles to go I started to slow down.  I just felt spent.  Emily helped push me through the last miles.  This is the hardest and longest I have biked this year. 

So far my knee is doing great and I don't feel any pain for the ride.

71 miles in 4:10 ave. 17 MPH

5 mile easy

11 miles pulling the kids.  Up hill really makes me work.  

Picked up my long time buddy clinton and drove to Brigham City where I meet 2 of his brothers also buddys of mine.  We then drove to Corrin.  We biked 15 miles and had a blast.  it was an easy ride.

Biked 45 miles with my wife.  We fallowed the Salt Lake Century route.  Some where in Bountiful I got of the route but then we met back up with it some how.

 We ave. about 14 MPH
 

5 miles at after clinical at IMC hospital.  Planned to do more with the kids but laurie had one of the wheels to the stroller. 

Biked to clinical in 38 min.  Is it a nice ride but I went a different way today because of construction on 27th west.  Man did the new route suck.  The 10 miles was a drag.

Biked home and decided to bike my normal route.  I turned on the 27th West and hit something.  Then 5 sec. later my tire was flat.  Called my wife and met her at my kids daycare.  I wanted to bike home but it wasn't happining today. 

16 miles today

I did 11.5 miles in the moring pulling the kids.  Then did 10 more at work.

21.5 miles bike

Got up way to late to ride before the kids dance class.  Once my wife and I got out biking it got hot way too fast.  We only did 6 miles.
