Over the last 11 days I've increased my mileage and intensity, getting ready for our race season that begins the second week of September. Most of my riding has been on the road with some off road thrown in to stay up on my skills. For the next month my training gets to the point where it becomes painfull, but in the long run hopefully it will put me in the overall top 5 for the Florida State Championship. They say no pain no gain. My gt marathon pro I can't say enough about it. Anyone that my read this blog, if you don't have one you don't no what your missing. Try one out and you'll be hooked! Until next time ride on ride safe.

The past 10 days I've been continuing on base miles. Most mileage has been done on the road, although some has been done off road. This past week I've put in 300 miles. This monday the fun begins with 2 days of intervals per week for the next 6 weeks until our season begins. Hopefully all the base and intervals will put me in the top 5 overall for the Florida State series. It will be tough moving up a class, going from 40 sport to 40 expert. Tomorrow morning will be fun,it's the sat. morning cycle haus ride where the attacks will start a mile into the ride. Ron I hope you eat your wheaties because your going to need them!

Since my last post I've had some real great rides, both offroad and road. This past week was very exciting.While out on a road ride tuesday morning I was buzzed by a Toyota SUV. I took my fist and hit his side window to let him know how close he was, and also gave him the 1 finger wave. He didn't stop so I chased him at about 30mph, and followed him into a gated community, and let him know about the 3 foot law. This guy was an idiot. I left and told him he can deal with the police. I filed a report, and the officer said he would understand the law when he was done with him. Saturday I rode a century with Art and Glenn out to Boca Grande. Sunday I rode offroad with Russ at Croom. Our buddy Kevin was supposed to go but stayed out too late on the 4th. To make a long story short Kevin has a gps on his bike, which means that if he showed up we would'nt have got lost and almost died of dehydration. Thanks Kev. Until next time ride on.
