Where we goin'?

Glad you asked. We are heading through the rest of the summer and fall on a trip to Cyclocross Nationals in Kansas City December 13-16 2007. After that, who knows. The spring/summer will be filled with MTB (mountain bike) riding/racing, road rides (maybe a few races) and you never can tell what else will happen. Will be posting pics and updates throughout the season of rides, friends, and whatever else gets into the frame.

So far the spring has been filled with more MTB than in past years as I wanted to focus on that this year. Cyclocross has a similar start format and the intensity compares to that of an MTB race - heartrate thru the roof, can't get a breath, and eyes bugged out right from GO! To follow in the footsteps of Ryan Trebon, who won both the MTB Cross country and Cyclocross National championships last year, I had to get on the MTB more, but stay on the road too. Road fitness is crucial for endurance and MTB strength gives you the gas and handling. Trebon was the first to win both titles in the same year since Steve Tilford in 1983, the first year of NORBA nationals. Not that i can perform like the Trebon or Tilly, but it can't hurt and the MTB is way fun. So the focus during this year's early season is MTB racing and road training... of course having fun too! Lets Roll.
