The road season is finally upon us. I know some of the guys have already started racing. Austin was at Froze Toes in Columbia, MO this past weekend and I think some of the Mercy boys will be down in Texas for the Lago Vista races this coming weekend.
I've been training hard. I know that I'm faster than I have ever been in February, thanks in part to Kevin Younger and Jonathan Garcia at AIC Training. Its just been great being injury free, and its amazing how much power I have when I'm not battling back problems and jacked up hip issues.
Anyway, this past week we've had some crazy weather. It snowed a lot, Thursday and all day Friday last week which meant to Oval ride on Saturday. So instead of riding in slush and being cold me, Fuzzy, Lang, and some girls went on a hike to Grey Rock up in the Poudre Canyon. It turned out to be an awesome day and it was 50 or better all afternoon. Hiking in tee shirts was better than any ride could have been in the slush too.
Stuff like this video from K-B-K, are getting me amped for the season. Especially watching Boonen roll the dice.
Like I said, the season is about to start. Saturday I'm doing a TT just outside of town here. Its a basic 14 mile out and back course. 1 turn-around, typically high winds, and its on a frontage road. I am just hoping to get a good gauge for my fitness, as the RMCCC racing starts in 2 weeks. A time of 26 minutes would make me happy, and it could get me an early top 3 as not many people typically race it. I hope they do, doing really well and beating no one wouldn't be any fun.
