I mean, what else to say? I know plenty of guys who ride the same volume (hours) I do, just structured a little differently. If you look at the list of my rides, bear in mind I commute by bike 5 days a week, and do 1 "training" ride of some sort, effort or recovery, each day, generally.
To some, I ride a ton. To some I ride an average amount. Last week was 13.5 hours. Usually I'm around 15. I enjoy it so I make time to do it.

Simple food can be so awesome. My wife boiled some fresh green beans and potatoes with some leftover ham. Damn, that was good!

Wasn't it last year or the year before they made a mid-season snap decision to discontinue their racing team? They're a good place to do business with, but it seems they're an example of alligator dreams/hummingbird balance sheet.

There is a crit I want to do on Sunday..but I don't want to drive ~7 hours round trip. Toledo is a terrible place to live if you race bikes. At least my club race series starts up next week.
