Megan, Kaeley, and I went on a nice long ride from East beach to up the first hill on Casitas Pass Road outside Carpinteria a nice long fairly flat ride to get some mileage in the saddle in. Check it out on mapmyride.com below.

Bike Shipping
Sorry it's been a while since I've posted on the blog. I hope everyone is still checking back periodically. Let me know how training is going!
Here in Santa Barbara, Jason and I have been riding bikes a lot and swimming as well. I got a new road bike and really enjoy it. Last Sunday we even went on two rides...logging over 40 miles around hilly Santa Barbara.
For those of you that will be flying from different locations and want to bring a bike, there is a company that will ship, build, and transport bikes to and from the triathlon. The fee is $185.00 with return shipping included. The info is found here:

The other option is you can ship bikes from a local shop in CO (they have boxes) to our address here in Santa Barbara. Then we can drive all the bikes up together. We should have enough bike racks and cars. After the triathlon Jason and I could ship bikes back from one of our local shops. I think this might be cheaper than the above service. If we need to get estimates on this cost, let me know and I will check it out.
I don't want anyone feeling like the bike shipping issue might keep them from the triathlon. Let's all stick with it and I think we can work out the details. The whole point of this crazy goal is to jump-start our fitness!
On another note- we are first in line to get a condo at the lake. I will let everyone know when I have more details.
Swim fast, ride hard, and run like the wind!
