A short description of the SPOT connect device I have on order to use while on Tour Divide. Everyone carries a Spot device for tracking purposes, and this one will allow me to continue to feed BG, basal rates, etc. info back to my blog, twitter, etc.
Pretty cool! Should have it in my hands soon, and I will begin to use it as soon as I get it.

A beautiful day here in North Carolina! 70 degrees or so! So awesome. Developing spring fever!
I set the basal rate on my pump down to a 60% reduction a little late at 11:45 in prep for a 12:30 mtb ride. Plan was to leave from my place, head out to Morrisville to ride to ride Lake Crabtree County Park, Umstead State Park, and some VERY good surrounding single track.
I left a little late, which helped me, as it was almost a full hour after my temp rate became active. Funny how it all works out. :)
I had my small HydraPak on with no bladder in it. Stuffed in some nutrition and a water bottle, plus some fast acting, spare tube, hex wrench, and 2 CO2s. Just about what I need for an all day ride.
It is about 12-14 miles of road work to get from my place to the entrance of LCCP.
Was able to get into single track there by 13:20 or so. Road a little bit, and, with the fabulous weather, there where just too many folks in there. Need a little more space, so headed to some of the other local single track systems right near there.
These where much better! Quieter and a lot more fun to ride. The first trail is one of my local favorites and they trail builders have been really expanding it over the last year or so. TONS of fun single track, and lots of "unusual" items on the course..

Like this Frankenstein and swaying ghost. (Mental note: remember these are here so when I am night riding in here I don't basically have a heart attack. LOL). Love the sense of humor!!
Ran into my friend David while in these trails. Tried to stay on his wheel a bit on the way out. Dude is seriously fast. Was fun working to hang with him and his big wheeled rig too.
Stopped on the way home to dawn a base layer and arm warmers as the temp was dropping with the sun. The whole way home I was facing a good 20+mph head wind which slowed me down some. Made me laugh as I will be getting plenty of this on TD.
Arrived back home a little more than 6 hours from ride start. BG was at 147, which, considering my on bike target is 150 made me happy.
Tried to take in some nutrition, but wasn't all that hungry. Concentrated on re-hydration as I have a good sized training ride in the books for tomorrow as well.
When I went to be I set my post ride overnight temp basal to 70%.
All in all a great day on the bike in NC!

Got to head out in the early afternoon for a training ride at Lake Crabtree County Park. I spent the morning unpacking from the race, and cleaning the Superfly up.
Set the basal rate to a 60% reduction around noon, hoping to be on the bike by 13:00.
First 90 minutes or so where very cool and chill. Just trying to ride the race out of my legs. The last 2 hours and change where the best time I have had on bike since I was 10. Weather was fantastic, and the trail system was spot on.
Did some hill work over at Umstead State Park, and then hit the singletrack on the way home.
Saw this sign in the park, and it made me laugh out loud:
Nothing like a hand drawn sign in marker on paper to help you avoid death. :)
Great day on the bike! Weather looks awesome for the rest of the week... I feel SPRING!!

My 2 very young sons overheard me talking about racing this Saturday. They asked if "I was going to use my new bike".
"Yes" I replied.
"Is it ready to race?" they asked.
"I think so" I said.
"Something is missing" was what I heard.
"What?" I thought out loud.
"Blue Lightning" replied my 3 year old.
"Blue Lightning?" I asked.
I was told, "You can't race your bike without Lightning".
My oldest put his hand out and handed me something.
"Make sure you get him dirty and muddy. He likes to go really fast" I was instructed.
"Yes" I replied.

From the bottom of my heart.
