How Tough?

Well I wasn't Tulsa Tough this weekend. I got back from Italy Wednesday evening. Italy was great and it was truly an all work and vacation trip. I did no excercise or cyber cycling while there. I did eat REALLY good. Carbo loaded for the rest of the summer. Unfortunately that time off bike really hurt me down in Tulsa this weekend. I had no plans on going but fellow Hubber Dave Smith was looking for someone to ride down with him so I jumped in the truck with him. Tulsa Tough ranks as probably the best race weekend I have been to yet. I will be back there next year with good legs.

Photo is of my new frame. My black addict had a defect and it got warranted and they sent me this 09 R3. I wasn't a fan of white but I'm really digging it now. More training and getting the legs back in shape is what I will focus on the next week. Looking forward to a few races in June.

Same Ole Same Ole

Well I haven't done a weekend races since the Tour of Stl. I have been making it over to the Tuesday Worlds and I'm happy with my finishes to date. Last week was my best finish coming in 6th. Other weeks including tonight I usually finish 10-20. Tonight I tried getting in a break and I was out there for a 2 laps with a Gateway rider, he then proceeded to drop me and then go on to win the race! The legs of a Cat 1 guy and my Cat 3 legs didn't mix well tonight. I tried hanging but ended up dropping back in the pack for the field sprint. I'll probably won't race any weekend races this month. I'm headed out of town this Friday for about a week and half. Going to Italy to ride with the Italians. I may post something cool from a bike shop or stage of the Giro if I make it to either of those while there.
