The Change...

Well as you can see, there's been a change not only to my blog header, but to the team I race for now. This is sort of a homecoming of sorts. I started racing with Team Ranchos back in 2007, and have now returned. Nothing against SDBC at all, one of the greatest teams out there, full of guys who I thoroughly enjoyed racing with. Sometimes a change is what's needed to further one's progress in the sport, and sometimes that change involves taking a step back. I have absolutely no regrets about racing with SDBC, and no regrets about leaving Ranchos back in 2007. Had I not done that, I would probably have never met the people I now call friends on SDBC. Until next time...

A change is gonna come...

Hello All. Writing to you from beautiful, sunny San Diego! Man what a nice day! Got out on the bike today for a good 3.5hrs, moderate-to-high intensity, just trying to clear the legs out some after yesterday's State Time Trial Championships. 40k, in the high desert, my goal, break an hour. This was my first 40k time trial so I had no idea on how to pace myself, so I played it smart and rode within myself for almost the entire distance. 55:20 is the time I ran, so the goal was met. Next season, a 54:00 flat. I'm finding out that any race with a "championship" designation really brings out the big guns. I had a vision of cracking in to the top ten, but even running a 55:20 only netted me 28th! Next race on the calendar, the State Road Race Championship. This race is an "A" race all the way for me, and I'm hoping the form I had out at San Luis Rey is still there come June 7th. As for the change is gonna come title of this blog, more on that when it happens. Until next time...

San Luis Rey! Damn fun race! Entered this race with the intention of getting a great workout, not to place high. That's exactly what I did. I didn't think I'd have good legs for this race, after my miserable performance at Punchbowl, but guess what! To keep it short, it was sooo easy to get to the front, and even attack at will. One of my attacks actually succeeded and I managed to get about a 40-second gap on the field. Rode solo for almost 8 miles! Good fun:) Next up, Fiesta Island TT this Sunday, 40k. Wish me luck!!! Until next time...
