Bethel?

Unbelievably... bethel is only 6+ weeks away. Last week I did my first vo2 max workout on the rollers and i was in heavy debt.... what a break thru workout for me.... both mentally and physically. I can't wait to do the next one.

F it.... i'm back.

I have moved to Roxbury and love it. The wife, dogs and I live up by the airport and love to ride the pave at night... cruise into steep rock and pretend (i really think) bears are chasing me and ride like a mo fo!

A must see!

I have ridden most of these roads (Alpine, Old la Honda, Page Mill, China Grade).

I love riding out there. Truly epic.

Where's Fredzilla?

Fredzilla has been busy trying to purchase a house, sell a house, work and ride a little.

Mediocre results at the Nutmeg Games kept him from winning the CT State Criterium Championships. 12th in the 35+ and 8th in the 30+.

Housy Next.

Fitchburg is 2+ weeks away.

Daily stress is painful and draining on the body.

Hopefully this will be in my rear view mirror in the next couple of weeks.

Yo! Where is my $50?

Somerville pro,1

I have done the "main" or "feature" event 4 or 5 times when it was pro1,2 and even scored a top 30 once. Back in 2000ish they changed it to pro,1 with a separate cat 2 event. I enjoyed the cat 2 event, but still wanted to be in the pro,1 race. This year I received my Cat 1 upgrade specifically for this event. Game on.

Today was also my 37th birthday and my first race of the year with the full team of Saki kids.

I was nervous before the race and during our prerace team discussion I decided above all things... I was going out there to have fun... and a lot of fun.

I tail gunned for the first 30 laps... at about 10 to go I made my move from last to the top 10. I sat in the top 10-20 for about 3 laps and realized I didn't have the goods to bring home a result today... I slowly drifted to the back to stay away from any crashes.

Great day. Great fun.
