CYCLING

Today it was 3 hours and 40 miles on the Road bike.  Keeping the legs spinning and the cadence high.  On Wednesday it was 5 hours and 75 miles on the Road bike.

 Here is the video from Wednesday's 75 miles ride.

CYCLOCROSS 2010

CYCLOCROSS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE TYPES OF BICYCLE RACING FOR SURE!

CROSS, MTB DH, MTB XC, ROAD,

DUAL SLALOM, CRITERIUMS, HILL ClIMBS.....

I LIKE EM ALL.

CYCLOCROSS WILL ALWAYS HAVE A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART, CAUSE IT COMBINES ALL ASPECTS OF RACING INTO ONE FUN SESSION!



ROAD RACING 2010

On the Road Race scene the learning was much more then I imagined for 2010.  I had 50 race starts in 2010 and finished the season ranked #5 out of 235 riders in my age group.  My season long goal was to finish in the top 5 of the ranking for my region, so this year long quest was achieved!

The top 50 in this ranking are all legends of the Road in my book.  They are all great riders and super talented on the bike.

I did finish the season completely out of gas.

I had some very good results during this Road season.  However, with 50 Road starts in 2010, I also had some of the worst races ever!

Each race I had very high expectations and sometimes this would work against me because sometimes the outcome was so bad, and I expected greatness.

I will learn from these experiences and I will be very thankful for any great result I can achieve in the future.

Most of all, I need to dig deeper and fight harder somehow....

someway....

And really have fun trying!
