Alrighty then

The summer is underway. I have been working my ass off at the coffee shop and trying to help out at Milltown as much as possible. Yesterday was my first day off and all I wanted to do was sleep. Oh well, saw the new pirates lastnight with Derek and that was a nice change.

My bike situation right now. I have a steel frame ordered from Badger Cycles, and I have a new mag from Zinn that I am going to be selling on ebay. anyone need a Large bike? Give you a nice deal. Anyways I am now riding a SS surly bike around as my day bike and I am attempting to train on the Trek as much as possible. I cant really push the bottem bracket to far, Ben and I found some age/stress cracks forming so I am just playing it easy now until I have a safe bike. Anyways. I am excited for the Badger. Its going to be sweet.

Alright, I hope this is a nice update, I dont really have any internet at my apartment so any updates will be few and far between with my ability to get online.

Harder day

So Monday turned out pretty good. Road for an hour and a half with Brandon. We did some hill sprints and stuff. Got a good burn going in my legs. Then Brandon and Finn wussed out for some longer riding, so Bria and I went and did the windmill loop for an hour. We got rained on, and it felt wonderful. Made myself work hard on every climb. I was happy with my ability to go pretty hard on most of them. I weighed in at 220 this morning. Which makes me very happy.

Ok

So thursday I got a two hour ride in, hammering into the wind in almost any direction. That was that.

Friday, I had so much stuff to get done that i just ended up not getting to ride. Saturday, I went with Brandon to Marty, MN and road. Brandon won the 3's, and I got 20th in the 5's. Which makes me really mad. Because I think I could have won. I got dropped on the climb of the second lap, and hammered into the head wind on the descent and was almost back on, on the descent the follow car had gone around me, and after she went two civilian cars had gone too. There was a stop sign at the bottem of the hill and a right hand turn. The follow car went through the stop light, but the two other cars stopped. making me have to slow down, loosing all of my momentum and I never was able to catch back on. I kept within a minute of the group, and the eventual winner was a guy I had blown off the back on the second lap with my break away attempt. I could have one that race. Its frustrating.

Tuesday, May first

Did two hours today, and then went out with the team, Kyle flatted so I offered him a tube, and I proceeded to break the valve off trying to loosen the CO2 cartrigde... fun.

So I road a quick time trial back to school and got Jake's car and got kyle. After that, my legs had gone cold and I had a dinner date a 5 20, so I did three hill sprint and called it a day.
