Training and Racing Updates.....and the Secret Weapon for Natonals




Training for the big show in California is going well. Mondays consist of sleeping until noon, eating and maybe mowing the lawn. Tuesdays have been time trial days. We found a 2 mile stretch of brand new pavement up near the sod farms in Hartville. I'll ride it a couple of times on my own and then motorpace it a couple of times. Wednesday is still the big hill day in Tuscarawas County. We've been doing a 23 mile loop with 1200 feet of climbing. Thurs is another day of sleeping in and hanging out. Friday has been a real easy long spinning day. Usually doing a race on Sat or Sun.




Last Thursday I raced in The Chapel Series B Race. It was a nice size field of 25 or 30. The course is really technical. A BIG Thank You to Mike Gorman for helping me ride the fastest lines. It really paid off and at the final sprint, I got the win. In addition to the win I also got $50. That is going into the iphone fund!




This weekend is Troy on Saturday and the Ohio State Crit Championships on Sunday in Miamisburg. I think James Anderson is coming down for the Troy race.




In case you didn't know, I hate racing in the heat. This is not a good thing considering the temps in CA have been in the high 90's. But I now have a secret weapon for the heat. This weapon will be revealed here on my blog on Friday. You won't want to miss it!!




Ride On'
