TT, PB

Did our teams second TT last evening. I did the 10.85 distance in 27:10 (23.96 ave), 9 seconds shy of my personal best last year. I hope to take a full minute off that by mid-season, getting a 25mph ave. would be great.
Druber showed up, busting the course in 23:19 a 27.9 mph ave. he's a TT monster.

Solo

I had to work last Saturday, but i get off at 12:00. After i had lunch with my wife i got ready for a ride to Bloomington. My sister-in-law was having a Graduation - Birthday party for her daughter and husband, i wanted to get some miles in so i decided to ride over. i had plenty of time since the party was at 5:00. I left town at 2:10, i seemed to be sluggish had a hard time keeping a pace, ( i was hoping for 19mph) but the wind even though slight was against me. After about 30 miles my legs started feeling better and i was able to speed up. 56 miles later i arived at the party feeling pretty good and i wound up with a 17.5 ave. this has been my longest solo ride so far, may try for a solo century sometime.

Sunday, Luke and I got out the TT bikes for some training, Art came along also. We rode around 32 miles working hard for most of it. I hope to see some results on Tuesday.
I need to get those rings on..

Today

Only a few WildCards racing today, will report results. Good luck all.
Next week though, most of the team is headed to Kankakee for the Cobb park crit. I feel we'll get some podiums.

Broken

Thats me.

Rings

Bought some new chain rings for my TT and road bike. Q-rings, supposed to help eliminate the dead spot and provide a better power stroke. Photo is of the rings for the TT. I hope to have them on for the next Tues. nite Time Trail and see if they help.
I need as much help as I can get.

Weight

Having a hard time this year dropping pounds, I just can't seem to say no to certain foods. The will power has weakened. Maybe I'll have a beer and think about what to do.

Off

took today off, off the bike that is.
i rode 60 miles yesterday with a good size group. we went to Tuscola, then west a ways then back to Urbana. i had a 20.5 ave, Luke and a few others amped it up about 1/2 way back, i hung for awhile then fell off the back. something i'm used to, but i am hanging on longer each ride.
so today i felt like taking a break from the bike, been doing a lot of work in my back yard and on our house and i think i'm getting a little tired. i'd like to sell the house and get a condo maybe, anything to have less maintenance and yard work. more ridn and racn time that way. Anyone looking for a 3bd rm house? motivated seller..
