The King's post inspired me to better my time trial time. An attempt was made last night. I felt tired, and if I were to puke at the end. That must mean that I did it right.

10 miles 30:14

The picture doesn't show exactly that as I stopped the Clock but kept spinning after to cool down. So my AVG MPH is whacked too.

I will post a sans 30 minute mark in the future. I can shave off 14 seconds, I know it!

Tour De Cure - signup

Ok, well I setup a team name and gave them my $15 at least!

Here’s the team website that I set up. Please register. I need at least 5 riders (I think that I’ve got that covered!) to be considered a TEAM – but would welcome anyone else that you might know that would ride with us. I said that we’d be doing the 50 mile route.

Please check it out and get signed up!

Thanks!

Flat Time Trial

Rode a 10 mile flat time trial last night. Time was 28:21 - 21.2 mph. avg. - 212 watts avg. power output. I'll try the hilly one next week and see if I can break the 30 minute mark. Last time it was 30:01 @ 20.0 mph avg.

I would rather be riding outside, but it's only 9 degrees right now!

Gravel today

Rode 14 miles on hilly gravel today, much more fun than the trainer, and alot better work out also. Hope you guys were able to get out and enjoy the day somehow

Will you guys ride with me? - It's for a good cause.

I'm going to put together a TEAM to Ride in the Tour De Cure on 5/31 (its a sunday). I need at least 5 riders to make a TEAM. So far I have 4 commits. The only hard part about joining the team is that you need to raise at least $150 to be on the team.

I'm going to TRY to get my work to throw in some money to get us started. I also am working a thread that may be able to get everyrider a jersey - My Industry related!

50 mile loop on skinny tires is what I'm thinking. Are you guys in?!!?

Fenders are on !!!

Put the flaps on today. Might hook up with Dmars later for a afternoon ride. Have to see what the weather/wind is going to be like. I have a feeling its going to be a real cold wind out of the North.

race schedule is finally up.

Just checked nebr cycling, and the schedule is up. Looks a lot like last year, as far as the venues, and the dates. I challenge you guys to do most if not all of the races. I think I will do all except for Ponca again.

I've crafted a way to get a SS

I plan to win one! Yep, that's right - there is a "raffle" for cancer or actually the LIVESTRONG Foundation. Fatcyclist.com has all the details. A donation to the foundation under his name, and you get entered to win this GF SUPERFLY - not available in any RETAIL Outlet.

Wish me luck! - oh and go donate- and give me the bike if you win as you guys all already have SS's!

Vertigo and ...

Over the last 2 weeks, I've had 2 seperate vertigo spells.  You know, the feeling that you (or I) get when reading in the car.  It's no good.  

My motivation is low, its 0 outside - What keeps you going?  

Trainer plans tomorrow night.  Tonight, I think I'll drink a beer.  I may as well have a few, so that I can get the bed spins for real!

Its brew time again

I have been in the mood for some Red Ale. So I brewed up a batch today and it should be ready in a month.

Can you do it?

The sausage king told me about this fun trainer ride - !!

You have exactly 30 minutes - the goal:  RIDE 10 MILEs in that time or shorter (he said he wants it to ride 10 miles in 28 minutes! - by the first MTB race this year)

If you can pull off 10 miles in 30 mins, you averaged 20 MPH!  I'm gonna give it a go tonight.  How far can you go in a 30 minute time trial?!!!  Let's see! I know that I struggle to get past 9 miles in that time!

Fork time?

Its is that time again. Time for fork maintence. You know, change the fluids etc. Do you guys want to get together sometime this month to do that.
