Today was a good day...

Shout out to "The Chad" - I heard your song today while riding.

This weekend was really good. I shot down to Tyler and got in 2 and ahalf hours w nate on the back roads of east texas. and when I say back road I use the term loosly. I dont know if thta road in Troup counts as road. I got in two hours today out around Benbrook lake. Such a nice day out.

I weighed in this weekend and came in at 199 - 17lbs lost total since 12/24 - Very happy about that. Feeling good for the upcoming weekend.

Here is one near the end of the race

Here is a shot of me racing int he Crit this past weekend. Im the one in black

Benbrook Ride

I got in a great ride today with 7 other guys - The local group rides are picking up now that the time changed. I got in 30 miles at a good pace. It felt good streting out my legs after the beating I took this weekend. I need to remember to bring my dang camera along.

Omnium

The races went great this weekend. Nate and his wife came into town and we all had a good time. I took 24th in the time trial out of 61 riders and managed to cover 12.5 miles in 32 mins 29 secs. Nate got me by 12 seconds. He rode a really great TT considering he's skin and bones lol. I also took a pack finish in the Criterium that afternoon finishing with an avg speed of 23.5 mph which I had to bury myself to make it to the finish with the lead group. I paid for it on Sunday though and didn't last long in the road race. Thats ok though. I needed a good ass kicking. Countdown to Fayettville - two weeks.

Ugh

Been fighting some sotr of stomach bug latly - Been getting to ride though.

The race in walburg was a complet bust. Did pretty good till about 3/4 of the way through the firs lap and we turned into a 35 mph headwind. The whole pack exlpoded lol. Got in a great ride with my boy Dave Bunce the next day while he was in town.

This past weekend I was in Tyler and got in 56 miles on Sunday with a good group of guys I hadn't seen in a while. I was toast once we where done.

I got my new Time Trial frame in this week and got it together last night. I got in a good ride on it today. Saturday will be a good test to see where my legs are. Hopefully this stomach thing I got goes away soon. Its sappin the energy out of me.

Arm me with Harmony

SO this week is going good with training. I got in a good ride monday and a ride this morning before work. I plan on riding again this afternoon and then an hr and a half tomorrow. I got a race coming up this weekend so I won't ride on Friday. Here is the schedule of races leading up to Fayetteville...

Feb 20 - Road Race at Walburg
March 7 - 20k TT in Denton
March 7 - Crit in Denton
March 8 - Road Race in Denton
March 21 & 22 - Fayetteville (2 road races and a time trial)

Also We've had a slight change of plans regarding the catagory I plan to race. I renewed my license and will be racing in the same cat I left off 2 years ago. Gonna be a shock to the legs but things are oging well so I'm optomistic about it. Here is a shot of my ride Friday night along the trinity near downtown....

Also - if you can't figure out the title to this blog its a lyric from my song of the ride -WORD!
