Cooling off, Warming Up

I had today blocked off as a vacation day to make this weekend a four day weekend (we take Columbus Day as a holiday) so my ride today was a warm up for racing this weekend. I pulled the road bike off the wall, pumped up the tires and headed out.

The gray sky and cool temperatures on my way out gave way to sun and warmer temperatures as I rolled towards home. Today also marked the first ride of the fall that I rode with a base layer, jersey, vest, and arm and knee warmers.

I realized today was the first long ride in while and I've felt it the rest of the day. Hopefully this will act as more of a warm up than a jet burning ride come Sunday's inaugural Colorado Cross Cup points race.

The heart of 'cross season is here. Game on!

Good morning BOD riders.

Thanks for coming out this morning. Good luck to everyone racing this weekend at Interlocken and/or Buena Vista. Don't forget, Colorado Cross Cup points racing starts Sunday in BV.

I'm all in!

From August 14-19, 2011, I'll be racing the Breck Epic mountain bike stage race. Today was one of the last days to register at an early discounted rate and since I have been interested in this race since it started two years ago, I figured I might as well give myself 10 months to prepare myself. The race covers approximately 240 miles over six stages and climbs over 40,000 vertical feet throughout the race.
