Tour de San Felasco 2010

Posted January 30th, 2010%

Fun until lunch. Then it got fairly miserable.

It’s my fault though.

I drank way to much the night before. I’m not sure how much but when I went to bed the room spun and I thought I might have to put my finger down my throat to ease the pain.

Mid 20 degrees at the start was . . . → Read More: Tour de San Felasco 2010

First day of school 2009

Posted August 24th, 2009%

This morning wasn’t nearly as difficult as I thought it would be. Getting the boy out of bed at 6:30 was a little challenging but not too bad. He was ready and out the door to the bus stop right on time. Lil E seemed excited to go to school but once we got there she . . . → Read More: First day of school 2009

Posted July 20th, 2009%

Why not just ride? I’ve asked myself that question. I’m not totally sure why.

Posted May 21st, 2009%

I’ve got a spectacular weekend of riding the penis numbing flatlands of volusia and flagler counties upcoming. Probably just ride up to Palm Coast and back.

Starting friday we’re going to Lil E’s final doctor appointment in Jax, then it’s down to the inlaws in Ormond Beach. It’s ok to visit but if I had to live . . . → Read More: Raging the Flats

Sharpening the knife

Posted May 11th, 2009%

3 weeks out from Bump&Grind and the knife sharpening has begun. Only rode 8.5 hours last week but every ride but Tuesday’s had some sort of intensity to it. Long hours dull the knife so now I try to use the knife as little as possible but keep it sharp with high intensity.

I had a gihugic breakthrough yesterday. Did the 20 minute test to check fitness and adjust FTP if needed. Came out of it with an avg of 307 watts. Best last year was 286. I set a 5 minute and 10 minute PB at the same time. Best 10 being the last 10 and best 5 . . . → Read More: Smashing Ceilings
