12/26 - 12/28

Took a couple day vacation to Bend with the family for a little skiing. On the 27th, I did a couple of hours of cross country skiing. The only thing of real note here is the hip flexor muscles the power cranks exercise are the same muscles used to break trail and Assos cycling tights are perfect for X-Country. On the 28th it was up the chair lift for a little down hill at Mt. Bachelor. The snow report is not so good if you want to ski but great for cycling. There were lots of rocks poking through the pack. But with such a thin pack, maybe training in the mountains can start earlier this year.
