numbers

new digs, no new blogging. i guess this cuts down on the tripe. the week of racing that began in the sauna 9 days ago on the mtb finished on the shaded streets of fort collins on sunday on the road bike. 3 events in 8 days. less bullshit, more pedaling. third in the sauna on the mtb at the dillon landfill summit county world cup on a day where i was capable of 10 second bursts and nothing resembling a sustainable effort. then on to world cup #2 wednesday night at the nordic center where better weather made a better ride. got away early and held onto about 90 seconds at the line. then a new belgium sponsored beerfest crit in old town got the legs going the way i like them to. 6 of us got away 2-3 laps in and then after getting it whittled down to 4 riders we sat up to not lap the field. fought it out fair and square, i couldn't get around the big gun in the sprint, second on the day. good results, a 1-2-3 week or 3-1-2 in order. road bikes and singlespeeds go well together, no matter what all the pundits say it is all racing the bike, no matter what you have under you, just what you have in you. i'm lucky.
