Ok, here are the results through 5/26. I have not heard from a couple of folks, but that might be due to the holiday. Just let me know when you can. Nice job everyone, we had 8218.6 miles for the month. That's pretty good for a couple of fat guys eh????

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

My spinning: I don't do it automatically...I have to consciously remind myself to gear down and increase cadence. I'll see what I can do.
Not bad though and it sounds like you are doing good self analysis.
Another thing you can do is explosive fast lifts on a leg press at your body weight. Just don't clang the plates on the downstroke!

Roger, good luck Tom and ride safe. Hopefully you will have better weather than we are going to have this weekend. Tropical Storm and the rain moving in. I'm not really too upset, we need rain bad so getting a couple of days of rain is going to be welcomed.

Had some great rides this week - a crazy ass ride on Thursday where we were motopaced by a guy on a motorcycle (look in the race forum for "Thursday Shelling"), and a fantastic 75 mile ride today where we rode down to the state championship course and scouted it out. I feel great, legs feel strong, and as long as the taper goes well next week I think I'll be ready to play come next Sunday.
