Sunny but........

Today looked sunny but there was a very cool breeze.  South east i think,made for a cool ride when you were riding into it.  It was still nice to be out again following that sucked out storm.  It should just keep getting better from here on in ,but we will see.  Had a good steady ride not to long and the only thing that got cold were my feet alittle by the end.  It was also very slick in spots just about went down once.  I practiced going through deep snow like it was mud.  I quess that is like being in the desert when you keep see water ahead of you.Winter is dragging on so long i am starting to imagine things.Oh well as long as it makes me happy.
P.S That is not a picture of me i just thought this post needed one.I didn't bring my camera,duh!

Hurry Hurry!!!!!

Not very good out door riding

I think the snow,rain,wind,and windchill are going to keep me indoors for a couple of days.I could probably walk faster.Here is what one of my shorter rides looks like.

Zone 1-2:32
Zone 2-6:56
Zone 3-41:03
Zone 4-1:09:32
Zone 5-0:30

Messy but nice!

It's been nice being able to get in some good rides outside.They are real good but messy and that is OK by me.Rode the Scott a couple of times just to fine tune it,the rest of the time it has been the Giant.Still no world from Jamis about my frame.It looks to me like it is just a crack in the paint but we will see what Jamis thinks.

Tough Races

So the other day i was thinking back on some of the tough races i have done.I was thinking,what was the hardest one i have done so far.I decided to share them with you.I have raced for 25hrs,29hrs,8hrs,100 miles,300 miles,7 day stage race.So starting at #1 as the easiest and working up to the hardest here is my list.

#1-Muddy Waters 100 mile (it is a good distance but fun i did it twice on my mountain bike.You can ride this one without stopping.

#2-Morden's Back 40-great course just needs to be longer then it would be way tougher.

#3-Reach the Beach 120km and 90 km (it is harder because it is off road and gravel.You can ride it without stopping as well.I did it when it was 120 as well as 90,super fun but 90 is a little short.

#4-Birch 80 km's-It was tough but you always get a break on the road sections.


#5-XC8 8 hrs-I had lots of fun there.Great spot i had good energy right to the end and felt good after the race.

#6-8hrs Birch-I found this 8 hr event harder than XC8 probably because i just finished TransRockies.

#7-Blundurd Hundrud-This is real tough but it could be tougher if the weather was hotter.


#8-TransRockies-Its tough and fun i felt strong during the race except for stage 2 when we went threw some wet technical section's i went down so many times by the end of the stage i was wiped but i rebounded the next day stronger than ever.

#9-Redass 2008 440 km's -Some people say that doing some of these stage races is the hardest thing you will ever do on a bike(not true)riding for over 24hrs without sleep on gravel roads is harder.


#10-Redass 2007 300 miles-I had a messed up leg and it took me 29hrs i never suffered more ever.I could not feel my little toes on both feet ,my fingers ,i could not bend my knee,i could not feel my groin area.Just ask Hal Lowen how hard it was we rested in ditches for the last 110 km's and popped advil's like candy.It was a month before i could ride again.

Anyone need a pair of Shimano pd-r540 pedals?I have no need for them.

XC8 oh the fun!

Here is a old picture from XC8 a couple of years ago .Good times and my leg doesn't look so good.Hope to get back there his year.

Need warmth!

Training is going well doing pretty much the same as before.I can hardly wait for some warmer temps without a windchill,i would like to start getting in some longer rides.I haven't heard back from Jamis yet about my frame.I stopped by the shop in town and it looks like Don's frame is in.I also saw a sign that they were going to put up stating there $50.00 per hr shop rate.I won't comment on that one except for i am glad i don't have to pay that.
