Surge Blog: I wanna go fast Ricky Bobby...





As many problems as Ricky Bobby has, i follow his mantra. "I wanna go FAST". Isn't that always the case with any competitive racer. Fast, will never be fast Enough, there is always faster, there is always better. Last year Eric and I attended a Tour in which we started late and had to close a gap of over 15 minutes withing 60 miles on another Fast group. It was a memorable moment. We shared pulls equally and averaged just a little under 25mph for over 30 miles and caught them. It was by far the best performance both of us achieved that year.

Over winter, our speed dropped significantly. Just base miles, Alot of base miles. Have to train smart, cant keep a high intensity over a long period of time, youll burn up early in the season. Ive been dying to put in some speed. I watch other riders ride so fast, and i feel like a caged lion just waiting, waiting to be unleashed.

The Cage has been opened, bring on the pain, Fast, will never be Fast enough
