La Ruta de los Conquistadores

Same ole, same ole in these here parts. Work my ass off for 10 hrs, go home, have and/or make dinner, play with the spud, put spud to bed, work for another hour (most nights), go to bed, repeat. Thankfully, some of those days have a bit of bike cummuting thrown in for sanity's sake. Yesterday, for example, I had an excellent ride home. 45 deg., clear and cool. The legs were feeling good and nobody tried to force me off of the road. Sweetness. I actually did a cx workout with the pooch in the morning as well and capped the day off with some pilates to work on the core and get things limbered up again so yesterday was a pretty good day.

Just read Adam Craig's write-up on that silly little race down in Central America. Looks pretty brutal but I've got to wonder if the 25 k of rail bed (with the ties) would be better with a 29'er.

From the look of this pic and others on the cycling news website, a 29'er could roll this stuff with the greatest of ease saving both time and energy. Of course, if you screwed up and fell in the river below, you'd be eaten by alligators Indiana Jones style.
