Aug,13th-25th Race season is just around the corner, so the training for the last few weeks has been pretty intense. The group rides lately have been great with attacks start to finish. The off road rides have been great also, besides the rain. This past weekend we rode alifia and the conditions were good besides the erosion in a few areas. It made it a little more challenging. And then comes the rain. It took about 5 hours to log 23 miles in. Tonight at the Venice road ride we were able to dodge the rain and had a fast ride with a 23mph avg. I know it does'nt seem that fast but ther was a 15-20 breeze for most of the ride, hill training in Florida. 8hours of labor mtb race sept.5th. Teaming up with KH for a 2man team. Hope to have a great race. I will post results and should have some pics on next post. Ride hard ride fast.

It's been an interesting last couple of weeks with mtb rides along with road rides and intervals. It seems every time during the week when I went out on the mountain bike, during the ride it would pour buckets of rain. Still the riding was good due to being sand based. We have had some good saturday morning rides out of Cycle Haus, with lots of attacks and numerous sprints. The intervals and bridge repeats have been tough, although in the long run hopefully they will help me reach my goals for the season. This past sunday a few of us went to boyette for a mtb ride. It was a real hot day with a heat index of 102 degrees, never the less we went through 2 gallons each of water in the 50 miles we rode. Hopefully this weekend I won't forget my camera and take some pics. Tom our gt rep was in yesterday showing us some of the 2010 bike line. Hats off guys the bikes are eye catching with great color choices. Keep up the great work. Until next time ride hard ride fast and RIDE A GT.
