Long time no blog as usual. December and early January we awesome for riding and I was getting in plenty of 3-4 hour rides again. Sadly the weather is back to normal and everytime I want to head outside for a ride it is either way too cold or it has just snowed. So mostly I've been using the spin bike. I got a Spinerval video (Have Mercy - basically 2 hours of intervals and pyramids)...done it a few times but find I prefer to just use the MP3 and crank out my own sessions with a focus on climbing.
Not going to Old Pueblo this year....too many other things happening. It looks like the first race of the year is going to be the Ice Breaker. I'm going to do some 8 hour races. One race I am struggling with is the 24 Hours of Albion Hills in August. I usually do this race solo but not sure I want too this year. I'm also thinking of doing the Shenandoah 100 which is the following weekend so there is no way I can do both. I'll probably wait until August to make that decision.
I just ordered up all of my new Kenda stuff for the season. They released the new Small Block 8 for 29ers which looks really fast so I have a bunch of those on the way. Plus I got some of the always reliable Karma's.
Clothing wise it looks like I will be wearing Castelli product for 2007. I got some of their stuff last year and really liked it. Then managed work something out with them for this year. I am really excited about it. They have a lot of new designs and products for 2007. You can check it out at
