Cruising along the Temecula bike path on the road bike

This week has been really busy at work and home Amanda and I are getting ready for our trip to her dads in Florida and while we are their we are going on a four day cruise to the Bahamas.
Monday we just did a 30 min arms/core strength workout at home after work.
Tuesday I got out on the road bike for 1:35 hrs did my normal tues loop its been hot, smoggy and smokey lately in the afternoons around Temecula.
Wednesday got in a 1 hr upper body workout in after work, I can tell these workouts are helping with my arm and core strength slowly but surely.
Thursday did a easy road bike spin up the bike path really smokey today Looks like there is a fire over near camp Pendleton.
Friday the plan was to head out to Vail lake and find the rest of the fat tire epic course and hopefully get one good last training ride in before we left for vacation,well some of that was completed I did find the rest of the course and it was steep and sandy but once you get to the top of the ridge line the single track is pretty fun.I felt tired and the legs were a little flat but I did get in 2:15 hrs and around 20 miles so overall I shouldn't complain after that amount of riding it was already getting warm.Headed back home for a well deserved rest before Amanda gets home from work and then we need to finish packing for vacation, not going to get any riding in this weekend due to travel plans but its well timed the body is ready for r/r.Hopefully we will be able to get in some light training while we are gone, both of us have been working pretty hard on training lately once we get back we only have a couple of weeks before we do our events hopefully the rest will do us some good.
