Keep on training...

 RIDE RIDE RIDE.....  TRAIN TRAIN TRAIN....  well what is there more to say about this morning.  I am in training mode.  Have been for the last year.  Going out there every chance we get.... taking advantage of the good weather,  getting better every day.  These guys are the guys I ride with everyday.  You need people like these to keep you motivated on achieving your ultimate goals.. You have to have your support system, when one slows down the other will push harder.

We went out for an hour ride that turned out to be 3 hours. Enough said.  Get out there and ride!

Sunday club ride or race?...

Came out ready to ride today. Felt like a beast. My heart rate was steady, my legs had power, I was in the zone. Last Sunday I got dropped three times and I was ready to prove myself today. So off the elites went and me and Billy went out for the beating along with them. Today from the beginning looked as if it was gonna be a torture fest that I was willing to endure. Well was having a great ride felt good, was not even breathing hard, and all of a sudden I hear my bike making clunking noises. My freewheel hub locked up. I was in fixie mode and if I slowed my pedaling the chain would snag and fly off crank. Scary. Well took it in easy and was glad that that's all that was broken.


Billy did great today. Getting stronger and stronger everyday. Getting out there and riding makes a big difference and he has the advantage of being young. He can get faster in a shorter amount of time. He too was a little larger before and is another example that hard work and eating right will make you a healthier and fitter person.
