My First Post

Greeting to all that are reading this.. I have been cycling with a purpose for about a year now and doing quite well i must say. I started the season as a Cat 5 cyclist and have made my way up to Cat 3 which i am happy about but now after placing well in my first few races i have found myself struggling to move forward to my next goal of reaching Cat 2. I know this seems like an unrealistic goal but hey you have to have them right? Today is sunday and i woke up this morning feeling stiff and not really motivated to get out of bed, but i had the idea to make some Ckn fried rice for after my ride today so i had to drag myself out of bed and take care of the morning rituals before my buddy shows up to ride with me. He is motivated again and for a while he became that type of cyclist that would only ride in nice weather and would bag with any given chance of rain or anything that was unpleasant(girl friend problems has motivated him to stop being such a drag) good for me and the rest of his cycling buddies.. So anyways i am not sure what the hell i was rambeling about but i am sure before i got interupted by facebook i was trying to make some point... Lets see... Now i am about to get ready to head out for a 3 hr ride which is comprised of long intervals with sprints built into them to make the already hard workout more fun.. On a good note the weather, though threating to rain is cool and no to little wind.. I am sure we will get rained on today but as always i hope to miss the rain because i hate cleaning the bike. I have no probelm with riding in the pooring rain but when it rains just enough to get the roads wet and make the underside of your bike look like a meal for forest creatures then that is no fun... Lets hope that my legs are stong today since it seems my ride for two has turned into a ride for four, which when you have a purpose to a workout or ride can not all way be the most welcoming of situations.. Hey i welcome the company though.. I welcome anyone that wants to put themselves through one of my workouts, i think for someone that has no structure to there riding it can be an eye opening experience. Off to get ready for the ride today.. i think i will write more about the ride later but who knows.

  1. Thanks for the workout and the wonderful chicken and rice today. I appreciate your help in pulling me out of my depression; I'm feeling better now. Don't get down on yourself in regards to your cycling journey. These things take time. Each ride you do builds upon the next. You've made tremendous improvements in a short period of time; You should be proud how far you've come!

    I just saw that there are some heavy hitters doing D2R2 this year- Jonny Bold and Kevin Hines. I'm going to try and hang with them the whole way.
