Big news for the day is that I just checked my checking account, and looks like my new Bikeman.com clothing is paid for and on the way to mi casa. Looking forward to the new stuff on two accounts. One I need some new bib shorts. Two, a whole new round of motivation wearing the colors of a new team. This year was interesting for me in that respect, I had options for bikeman.com and a spot on the Gary Fisher New England Regional team. Took some thinking but I decided on bikeman.com since I was able to choose the componentry I want to ride, not just the stuff from the Trek giant. And I really like my Independent Fabrications race bike.
Another long block of training on my days off this week. Just over 5 hours friday, wth about 2 hours at tempo thrown in.
Got Kris to do her first gap ride on saturday, up to the top of Middlebury Gap, super fun climb. Nothing like climbing to 3k feet to feel like you are in the Alps. Decended back down to Ripton to cruise the forrest service trails down there. Defenetly the place to get back to after the snow melts all the way. I am thinking this will be part of my off road century later this summer.
Sunday we got up early, little road ride before Kris went to work, then I met up with a group ride before I had to head to work. Nothing to fast but always an effort when everyone else is on road bikes and you are on the mountain bike. Resistance training at its best.
Topped it all off with lots of meat and some of the best beer around, VPB!
