Two Wheel Blogs

In between deer hunting Saturday, I plan on taking a few hours to go and hammer the roads of Cole County once more. It's been awhile, and I'm jonesin for a nice hard, foaming from the mouth road ride. I should be done hunting around 9. Ready to ride at 10-11ish. Who's with me?

When you need help, who better to ask then those in the know, and it seems like you all are in the know much more than I when it comes to this question.

You see, I've noticed some things from my recent high intensity training and racing and I need some training help. Here's my problem:

Well I'm glad that's over. It was a rough year for me down at Syllamo this year. Not sure exactly what happened but what did sucked. No big stone for me this year, probably won't even place in the overall Marathon standings with my incident of the tacoed wheel at Ouachita either. Arkansas was not good to me this year.

So I rode down with Brett and Shawn, we arrived at the Best Western in Mountain View. Unloaded, did some bike prep, and took a pre-ride. I felt great during the short, humider than hell ride we did. I was worried because I hadn't been feeling all that hot the last week or so, and my legs had been tight even though I had been doing very easy workouts.

Last week was perfect in my book. Sunny filled days and dry trails. Can't ask for more than that. Normally the weather we're having now would put me in a sour mood. Not this time though, after tonights climbing session I'll be on recovery for a week and a half leading up to Syllamo's Revenge. Going to try something new and try to peak for this race.

Last week I had three good trail rides in a row. Tuesday was Bittersweet. It was truely bittersweet. I tacoed a cheap front wheel on my Monkey, tore a sidewall, racked myself real good, and ripped the rear end out of my only good pair of baggies. Good times.

So I've featured a video or two of this rider before. Was roaming around and the crazy dudes at Team Segal had the newest video posted. Be prepared to have your mind blown...
