Road Toad.......

I'm really love piling the miles on. This year I've done ZERO group riding, just suffering alone most of the time and loving it! I'm gone to do a group ride tomorrow though. A team for this bike shop right around the corner has a ride that meets at 10:00am. If I can get up in time :) I'll check it out. I've put about 1200 miles of base in this year already and entered the second week of prep. The "CTS" plan is for a peak in the second week of July (SUPERWEEK)! I can't wait...My third field test and I've seen 20% increase power output over my first, right after the cross season! My coach is looking for another 30%. I think she is nutz, but hay I'll take it! Today was a long ride, it was supposed to be 3 1/2 hours but turn into 5 1/2. I got lost and had to backtrack about 30 miles.

Its a good thing I was loaded up with the goods before my ride. It’s amazing the things you need just to go riding!

Did I ever tell you how much I hate golf? Look at these clowns! What a bunch of pansies! Every time I ride by a golf course I want to yell “ Hay Douche Bag! Can’t you find anything better to do? You fat Pig!” The answer would be “No” with a dumb look from the pantywaist.

I was riding along and noted these funny looking steers. Shouldn’t they be in Texas?

I ride by this guy every couple of days. He’s in the same spot act’n nutz, looking for money. Next time I think I’ll throw him an Orange or a Banana…It could be Russell long lost brother.

After I logged 80 it was time for some fuel to carry me home. A quick triple shot, a bar, and a couple of phone calls and I was headed home for the slowest 15 mile today!
One of the calls I made was for a job in Vail (A job can you believe it?) It looks very promising. I’m meeting with them Thursday to go over the details (money). I hope I’ve not jinxed it! O-well, if I have I’ll just ride…………
