Hmmmmm

Hmmmmm…..what to write about…..there is so much going on I have found that I have little time to write and process cycling. I am writing as I was for 15 minutes before our school band concert begins. What with work, interviews, four kids, and trying to plug in riding I am finding it hard to up update the blog.

Me. I have been riding. I am finding my training is not as intense as it has been in the past, but I am still riding and a little racing. I raced an uphill road race in Salem. I am finding the cat 3’s are very fast. There are a few young bucks looking to move up and really hammer the pace. All the guys in the group are just as good as you, and most are better. I went into the 55 miler with the goal of not getting dropped and get the best finish I could. I hung in there and felt alright. In the last 200 meters on the uphill finish both my legs cramped and I limped across the finish line for 27th out of 40. Not to impressive, but felt I did fine until the last few meters.

I am getting excited for the 200 miler – Seattle to Portland in July and am realizing it is coming quickly. One more month! I will keep pounding the pedals to get ready for it. Sutt and Doug better be ready to pull me along. I thinking I might have to grow out the DZ stache though.

Lance … I don’t think I will vent on this one just yet. I will save it for my next post (in a few weeks maybe).
