Take it easy?

Today was a litter day 6 miles snowshoes and a easy spin on the trainer tried to stay at 65%

Training is fun

Friday was supposed to be my jog day but it turned into a day off.My daughter had a fever and had to come home early.So Sat i went to Birch with Don Sissions he skate skied and i snowshoed on the bike trails i stayed off the groomed trails because it is funner going threw the deeper snow. Got lots of hill climbs in and spent 3 hrs on the trails.Sun i did sit ups, push ups and rode the trainer (resistance training) after that i did 6 miles on the snowshoes.

My kind of winter riding

If you don't like to climb this is the race for you!(I like a good mixture)

Feeling Better

Started feeling better again today after a weird bug on wed

Workout -some sit ups,some push ups and intervals on the trainer up to 88%

Pretty some i will start doing some outside riding.I do like the structured workouts you get from a good trainer and i try to use it as much as possible during the winter.

Solo? Finally

Looks like Trans Rockies is offering up a three day solo event.It will run at the same time as the main race but it will end in Nipika for the solo racers and the 7 day riders will continue on.It's a start maybe it will be all 7 days for solo next year.BC bike race has already jumped on board and is offering 7 day solo race or teams of 2,3,4,5.They should of done this years ago.I may have to rethink my race plans.

Tuesday workout-6 miles on snowshoes and easy spin on trainer between 65% and 75%
Wednesday will have to be a day off because i have come down with another bug.

Monday workout

Started with coffee then sit ups followed by an apple and nutrigrain bar for breakfast.I then went for a jog ,very nice day out.When i got home i showered and cooked some scrambled eggs with olive oil and 2 slices of rye toast for lunch.I then went out on the snowshoes for 6 miles.It was a great day off.I even had time to make some home made cabbage rolls for supper.

Free goodies from the savage

I have a Scott espace card jersey jacket that i have never worn.It is a medium and i am giving away free to anyone who would like it.This is the first of many free give a ways.Why Cory why!!!! you ask ?Because i like to give stuff to my friends.


Sunday was a good workout indoor trainer race pace up to 97% of max.Felt real good.Now if i could only tune up my riding skills.

Workout

Friday was my day off and Saturday i got a good 3 hr snowshoe session in. It was a great day nice and sunny.There was a little bit of a wind chill but nothing a face mask won't fix.

It Lives

It lives to ride another day.I don't think i want to get it dirty.

thur workout- trainer (rolling hills) low resistance -low cadence 2min on. High resistance- high cadence 1min on over and over and over.

Tues workout- trainer low impact fat burn 65%
Wed workout- trainer grinding hill climbs followed by a little bit of intervals

La Ruta News

I remember saying before that La Ruta was going to be 5 days, well i guess they decided to leave it the same for 1 more year they need more time to get all the changes ready.So 4 days it will be.

Sun workout-jog
Mon workout -trainer intervals

Bike Trouble!!!

Turns out both Don Sissions and my carbon fiber Jamis Dakar XCR Team frames have cracks in the frame. Sounds like Don has a new frame except the rear triangle coming.Dale has to send pics of my cracks to Jamis and see what they want to do. Good thing i decided to rebuild the Scott because it might be a while before i ride the Jamis again.

Trainer workout today( hills) and 6 miles on the snowshoes.

Finally starting to shake my cold.

Its been a rough few days, stupid cold.Got back on the trainer today still stuffed up but felt good(intervals). I also worked, got a hair cut and stopped buy the local bike shop to get a few things( new tire pump ,tire gauge ,grease gun ,grease ,chainstay protector ,and some spare brake pads. My Scott is almost done, it is in my basement and all together but i am waiting for a few more things that i ordered on ebay to come so i can finish it up.

Dreaming of the best race ever!

Imagine if you will rolling hills good for gears or single speed. Lush forest trees. Hot desert like temps. Cabins along the route for rest/feed stations. Sound good so far,of course it does. Imagine again if you will 24 hrs of Spruce Woods. It doesn't hurt to dream (does it). Maybe some day we can get a bunch together and do it for fun like the blundered 100? Now i must go back to dreaming bye bye for now.

Too much work Not enough working out

Thrus worked until 11pm Fri worked until 2am Sat slept and went for jog Sun trainer workout Mon finally got Taya's cold no workout. One of these days i will get into a groove.
