I rode in the pole lane and practiced riding the black line.
Since we are racing tomorrow, we passed on the motor games that follow the structured pyramids. Cleave, was at the session and it was great to see him as always. And as usual, there was some female volleyball going on in the center.
Hi Hermes,
It is always great to see you and Ms. Diva. Both of you are looking pretty fit. That workout hurt a lot (in a good way) mostly because people just wanted to sit on my and my teammates wheel instead of leading a rep. However, it was probably for the better as far as my training is concerned.
Hey AzT,
Good luck with your race. It's great to have goals but remember this is your first season so most importantly get some good miles into your legs and be safe. Oh and have fun too.
I'll be doing a 12 mile TT which has 4 miles of climbing right from the start.
I raced this course in early March and I had a very bad day and was DFL.
Now I need to set a course
PR to make up for that.
