In search of Chub Lake

SO I got lost today... And some guys at a muffler repair shop almost in Lakeville helped get me back on track. So I got in 25 miles in around an hour and twenty minutes. Not too shabby. I quatered the wind for the last two thirds of the ride, so that explains the good time on an easy day. I kept my heart rate around 135 for the most part. It got up around 150 on some climbs... but thats usual. I outlined my route today on route slip. It is cool. Anyways. I have a couple of pictures on how getting ready to ride in the cold looks.



How bout some vitamin D please?


The tools for survival.... cant carry a hatchet... yet that might have benefit... a hatchet and some matches.... :)


The best protection....

Pulling and Andy Eddy, day

Today was like a mixture of Andy Hampstein and Eddy day. Andy in, that every thing on the bike froze. Eddy, because we didn't care. Brandon and I went out. Brandon went to Sogen to get some hill repeats in. I went out an hour after him. I did a 45 minute time trial at 160 beats to get to him. Then we went and did Sogen one last time. It was sweet. Nice big ass climb. Then we proceeded to haul our asses back to Northfield into a head wind. All and all I got a nice 3 hours in, bringing my total of the last three days to 6 hours. Not tooo bad, but a foot of snow. Thats all I got to say for today, but it was a BLAST.

This week

Should be chill. One of my classes is only meeting once, which is sweet. The bike is feeling good. Got some time in this weekend. I just wanted to say thank you to Seth, Brandon and Finn, for putting a spark under my ass. I haven't felt this good for a while. Seth, you just had to keep talking about riding... urgh. Brandon and Finn, thanks for all the encouragement dudes, I have never responded well to negativity, and you two have played me like a fiddle. So, I am glad to say I am now 218, and able to hold my big chain ring up for an hour with my heart rate well under 150. Its gross, my body fat is low enough that the veins in my legs are coming out, and that is awesome! So here are some pictures from tonight. Until I get tired of typing.

Some ideas.

So, the new bike from Zinn is being put on the assembly line... If thats what he does. Anyways. I am just checking out ebay and figuring out what I want on this thing.
its going to be a custom fitted Magnesium frame Zinn, with an extra long steerer Alpha carbon fork. Not sure what sort of stem/handlebar options I will have. I want some wide ones though. My current ones are to narrow, and I cant get enough of a grip to bring my back and arms into a sprint. We'll see what Zinn says, and what I say. I am pretty sure this thing will come with alumnium custom crank arms measuring around 200 mm. Its also going to have SRAM's Force components on board. I am really excited.

I sent in the color red. We'll see if I can get anything other than white for the Name lettering.

Today

I sat on the trainer for an hour. I did two 53x13 intervals for about a minute apiece. That was all. I will try and get a better ride tomorrow

wow

So I fogot how to get on this thing. Got some catch up too type.


Sunday: four hours on the trainer

Monday: ROAD OUT SIDE! hour and fifteen minutes. Nice. One sprint

Tuesday: N/a

Wednesday:N/a

Thats about it. Going to get something in today. Even if its too "cold" outside

Saturday ride

Did, oone and half hours today on the trainer. It was a blast.

Thursday Morning

I road the spinner for two hourz.

It was a blast. Got a lot of homework to do today.


I did two intervals on the spinner, one I had so much resistance and speed built up that I broke out of the pedals. That was interesting...

Have a good day everyone!

Stayed in the small chain ring and made myself spin the gear.
