Hallejuneva!!

Noun: pronounced "Hollow-Geneva": indicates excitement, enjoyment, similar to Hallelujah.

That was the choice word of the weekend.What a great one it was too!

I busted out the Supercaliber for a brutal ride with Casey on saturday. After getting the sensor for the ergomo dialed in, we decided a nice dirt road ride in the mud and rain would break her in. We assaulted Schultz hill a nice 500 ft climb right off the bat, only to realize Casey forgot his pack, descended and did it again. That opens the legs up quite nicely for sure. We blasted around the area, either doing 15k or 65k. It was up or down all day. We drilled it pretty goddamn good to because my legs were killing me afterwards. The evening was great as we had some homemade spanokopita and played some barn badminton.

Sunday was an awesome day. After a brutal fight with the race x-lites to put a set of skinny tires on and the usual killer breakfast at the Hollow we rolled out. The fellas rocked the mt. bikes while the ladies hit it up on the road bikes. We pulled off a nice 100 miler with loads of smiles, sunburn and sweet views. We rolled into Corning and took a nice little break at Wegmans, filled up on a "real" lunch for once and continued our journey back to the Hollow. It was a welcome return to the 3 bumps with several cries of "Hallejuneva" , for the journey was over, but only temporarily.
