Thinking about racing....

For the first time this year I might do an official race...

we'll see what the weekend brings...but first it's off to Waupaca for a wedding....! To hit the dance floor or not hmmmmm?

Last two days of training have been tough. For extra motivation in the 40 degree temps and rain, I decided to do my intervals in the basement. I hired a clown from Sheboygan Balloons and Gifts, and during my intervals I had it(him or her I couldn't quite tell) cheer for me in foreign languages, jump up and down, and throw water on me! It was fun.

Training Camp

Let's start out by saying I Love Riding My Bike...in really really nice weather!


This past weekend was the annual trip down to Nashville in Brown County Indiana for the PCW Team Training Camp. Friday morning we loaded up the Hyundai and headed south. I drove with Tim Drankus, Tony and his fiancee Brenda and our first stop was pro style at the Golden Arches.

































After a quick detour in Indianapolis to deliver a eBay bike sale we were rolling into Nashville.

Here is a map of our first day of riding...

we followed up Day 1 with some good food and then another solid ride on day 2


the roads in Nashville, IN are great....lots of hills, lots of curves, and lots of pcw jerseys.

After Saturdays ride it was time for the smack talk to end of the men to take to the basketball court...needless to say I couldn't back up my mouth...I'll stick to riding bikes. After dinner and the team presentation it was over to the campfire for amply amounts of bullshit and flatuants.

Day 3's ride was followed by a long drive home and the reality of life starts again. It's great that once a year the team can get together and bond. Now I'm back to the grind at Bike N Ski. The Wings are going on the round 2.


Go WINGS

Tis The Season

That's right Stanley Cup Playoffs...the Red Wings are off to a 1-0 start. I am a huge fan and have been watching the Wings as long or longer than Yzerman has been around...that's a long time.

It's also time to start racing bikes...this weekend is the Sea Otter which again brings back so many memories of ripping it up around the Laguna Seca!

Before I start racing it's down to the PCW Team Training Camp in Nashville, IN. The weather forecast looks good, the roads are awesome, and there are some "real" hills.

I might kick off the season the following weekend in Rockford, IL or I might just have to use WORS #1 as the season opener. Until then I will be training hard and recovering watching hockey. At least VS Network has good coverage of one sport I like. GO WINGS!

Ice Age

Yes, It has been an Ice Age since my last update. Yes it feels like we are living in an Ice Age w/ the weather below freezing, and Yes, I did do a sweet ride this weekend on the Ice Age Trail. Due to the frigid temps and the brutal wind speed I decided riding on the road at 20 mph would be really really cold. With 4 hrs planned I was dreading heading down to the basement. Then it hit me...time to bust out the new Top Fuel 9.9 and rock the Ice Age/Greenbush. I loaded up with Ozone warming cream, made some Powerbar Endurance, Sun Tea flavor, warmed it up and put it in the camelbak, and applied ample vaseline to the face. Next thing I know I was rocking the road at 8 mph into a biting wind. I was cold for the first 35 minutes until I got to the Road America climb and was in the safety of the hills and trees of the Kettles. The rest of the ride was bliss. 2-3 inches of fresh powder snow covering the rocks of the ice age trail put the new suspension to work. The bike rides like a dream. After a few laps in Greenbush it was time to head home. After fighting off the bonk I made it mission accomplished 4 hours in 25 degree temps. Out to dinner at a new Mexican restaraunt in Sheboygan called Mr. Sol. Sorry no pictures but you can check out the route at Motion Based...I am still pumped with this GPS thing...
