The Old Bait & Hook

Map of HBNSC Tuesday Club Ride

MotionBased Invitation

My idea of showing up and riding easy tonight at the club ride went out the window once the pace picked up after 13 miles. I couldn't stop myself from chasing the rabbit in our group and took the bait without even thinking about how my legs would feel on Wednesday. Surprisingly, I felt good enough to easily cover anything that was thrown at me along with what I was adding to the mix to keep the pace up on the hills and flats. I even heard a few comments that were jokingly made about whether I really raced a 24 solo race only ten days ago. If I'm dreaming and 24-9 hasn't happened yet, this will rank up there with the best of them as my recovery has gone amazingly well after this years race. Maybe I'll should start selling my training plans to those who want to race mountain bikes well into their forties and quit my day job. Just a thought. Pedal on...

Been meaning to call you, congrats on just an outstanding ride at 24-9. Im really happy you were able to turn a 180 from last year couldn't have happened to a better guy. Talk at you soon.

Justin is looking for a training plan, but he hasn't got any money. Maybe he could be a tester for your new product. Just an idea have a good week.
