I had a blast and felt like I rode well. I got there late as well and had only a small warm up, no pre-ride and then almost missed the start hanging in the wrong spot and running my mouth. Good times all the same! See you at Riverside!zekesbikenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12466408057471276567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28793115.post-55997608981009543842007-10-31T13:49:00.000-05:002007-10-31T13:49:00.000-05:00That was a GREAT POST! I laughed so hard and was so happy to hear you won!. It made me wonder about the tire pressure since maybe the higher pressure gave you that tiny bit of edge on the final climb? But am trying to find the right pressure and tires and all that. Cross is a techie- geek's paradise. <BR/><BR/>Nice job!JuneBughttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16026473278191141763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28793115.post-89627622788397662632007-10-30T11:10:00.000-05:002007-10-30T11:10:00.000-05:00Skills! One of the 3 ways to make you a more accomplished cyclist. Want to go fast? Just like you did in that sprint. Find that gear. Turn it over. Find that next gear. Turn it over and so forth. <BR/><BR/>Here's a good early season drill. After you've built some leg strength work on finding a gear, ex 53x16 that you can turn over @ 80 rpm. Work that gear till you can do it easily @ 95 rpm. Go off of rate of percieved exertion/heart rate/or power. Now start all over again in a harder gear, say 53x15 repeat the above and rinse. <BR/><BR/>By the time your training has hit the next phase, LT work, you'll have the leg strength to really get fast.Marchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08602687035041261605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28793115.post-54600564357719972802007-10-29T23:15:00.000-05:002007-10-29T23:15:00.000-05:00nice job Syd!!!

Now I really am sorry I missed this one. <BR/><BR/>Nice work.<BR/><BR/>At least I got to drag race a horse and buggy on my gravel grinder Sunday. Since when did the Amish start hanging fuzzy dice in their buggies anyways?<BR/><BR/>DGNeve_r_esthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13329919180492986371noreply@blogger.com
