Buckley nails a leaders jersey with me in a close 2nd by a second.

Funny thing that wattage:) Holy crap!416 vs 367=1sec
80kg/416=5.11watts per kg I came in a wimpy 5.00 per kg.

We are both looking forward to the flat TT today.

Bisbee bound!

Looking forward to doing some riding here in AZ this weekend. Planning on seeing some new to me courses at Bisbee. This is the 30th time they have run this race, but the first time for me.

Have fun at Wente!

Make over.

Some people have been asking over the past few months about an old friend.

Well he's had a make over and still getting more tattoos.

We did watch the Boonen win this year over the weekend. Not like two years ago when he and I were riding over the cobbles in the forest with Boonen.

Lunch break!!!!

Ok after the last two days of cutting, binding, coping, pasting, more cutting..I gotta go for a ride. A long ride away from people, cars, etc. My head is going to cramp and need some fresh air as I've been in the same sweat pants for the last two days, in the same room with the fish and 4 walls. Working from home is not very glamourous.

The only work outs I've been doing have been the frequent sprints to the kitchen to get the HR up for cardio and for the upper body strength training referigatator door curls. The core training has been an occasional sit up straight and arch the back from my otherwise slouching TT position on the MAC.

Later. See you on Eureka:)

Bailbonds, Beaches, and Belgian beer!

I wish that weekend didn't end.

First with the cruz to Martinez. This was the first time I've ever been to the very refinery town of Martinez. Them Shell bucks really know how to throw a bike race. Reg was quick, bands, spectators, free drinks, mayors, etc. It was really really a great race and if you ever need a bailbond (whatever that is) you can get them on just about every corner. The only thing that wasn't safe was a few of the races had lots of crashes. Not really sure why, things looked pretty safe to me except when Capt Mc Hook started drilling my ribbs with his head Robbie Mcewen style on a corner with 20 laps togo for no good reason. wtf?

I had a chance to corrupt some great San Jose Cycling Jrs Sunday am before Santa Cruz. We did a little TT work down on Santa TTTeresa. Hope it helps them with the district's in a couple of months. Man these kids got alot of support...SRM's, bikes for the track, road, etc. We should start to see more awesome Jrs. come out of here soon.

The Santa Cruz was fun as always, lots of hippes, famiilar faces, and overall pretty low key until the whistle blows..and the racin starts. Only one race for me, had a date with Tracey so we went off in search of a burger and a Belgian beer to celebrate Flanders.

We spotted this really cool restaurant downtown called 525 where they had brunch not that we were into the egg thing, looking more for the lunch program at 2:00. Holy crap...the beer list...it was well lets just say amazing! I love Belgium for lots of reasons and beer is one of them.
1) They make them in super size bottles
2) Higher in alcohol
3) Always tasty

And they had burgers...not just one..or two, but three. Yup thats right three burgers a plate of great fries and the best Belgian beer I ever had! Perfect day, then we came home and well you know....took a nap:)
