Face Lift

The two photos above come from my fiance's Sister's Boyfriend's father's collection of art work. We were over at their house for a holiday feast and it turns out Mr. Goldman is an avid cycling fan. He showed me this awesome piece of artwork and I immediately thought to myself "I am soo blogging this".

As you probably noticed I made some changes to the previous format. Just trying something new on for size to see how It works out. Please feel free to throw in your two cents.

Also, I just recently received an update from Coach J. Turns out I have got my "legs back"... whatever that means. This week is going to be mellow yellow, then some FTP focus + lots of racing... should be fun.

I sat down with both the SCNCA and the NCNCA schedules and a Calendar and penciled in about 16/ 17 days of racing before the wedding... I got all excited just thinking about it... I feel like I did when I was 12 lying in bed just trying to fall asleep on X-mas eve so the morning would roll around and I could go running into the Sala and look at all the loot Santa delivered the night before... except in this case, the loot is the race season and x-mas eve is about a month and a half... Oh well, you get the point.

Here are some views from the vault (and by vault I mean my less then stellar camera phone):

Have you seen my bicycle?

Woke up Saturday at 6:30. Just enough time to make a bowl of my scrumptions Cinnamon platinum granular oatmeal. Grabbed the bag I packed the night before, threw on my kit hoped on the bike and pedaled down to 154 and CO. Marco Rolled up in his van and a couple of us piled in. 5 passengers- 5 bikes- no problem. We drove up to Solvang where Benko had organized a nice little valley ride. There was a pretty big turn out and despite some of the heavy hitters showing up the pace stayed pretty tame the whole the ride. I got some pretty weak pictures of some of the riders after the ride on my camera phone.




Me and Captn Smitty

Today I went out for Worlds. It was a good ride but I had to put the hammer down after the polo fields in order to make it home in time for work. I was two minutes late... Gotta work on that FTP.

Now Im cleaning and then in an hour more work.

Peace.
