a great block the last few days, by the time today came i was pretty cooked, the legs were stiff, i spent about 30 minutes today stretching. not enough intensity but certainly good volume. maybe i can get outside up here in the next few days and bury myself in a good motorpace workout. now i have exactly one week until race number one. can't really be a bad thing, right? i rode the fixy to work today, the wheel slipped in the drop out on the way in and locked up the rear wheel at about 20 mph. not fun. i fixed it and rode home to switch bikes in time to get absolutely snowed through while doing errands on my bike. on the trip home everything was grinding on the mtb. it got a good washing for getting me through the trip! overall i feel good about where i am for the season. the volume and milage are solid but the intensity is lacking. i need a hard group ride but that won't happen for another week, oh yeah, race number one. a race is a group ride right? regardless i can get a few hours with a tough 75 minutes in the middle. merckx and coppi said it best when asked what it took get good at cycle racing "ride lots." time for bed good night
