Back to the Vomit

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

It’s just about time to start my two times a week trips to the Silver Comet Trail, aka the Vomit, for tempo rides. Yesterday I rode from the house out there as a warm up to next week’s first tempo ride. I tried to set my heart rate right at the top of [...]

Winter Bike League

Monday, January 14th, 2008

Ouch. I have been very diligent in keeping to my base zones for the last 6 weeks and blew it all this weekend. 55nine Performance sponsored this week’s WBL, so I had to be there and it’s good for business to go ride with the roadies. The WBL rides are well organized, [...]

Back in the Gym

Thursday, January 10th, 2008

We had to skip the gym workouts for nearly two weeks while we were in FL due to the holidays and limited access to fitness clubs. We scored two weeks worth of passes for Lifestyles Fitness, but then we had nothing. I did some big gear work on the bike to keep the [...]
