Fatty Thursday Video

Fatty Thursday

What a day! 3 hours 18 minutes of fatty fun at Scioto Trail State Park with Big Tim, Joshium, & Ben. The gravel roads were still snow covered. We were able to ride Campground climb. Mix of melted tire tracks, slush, & ice. All the snow riding came in handy. haha We climbed paved roads for the first time. Woods Hollow was fun with a steep 20% section. We repeated our first climb again, but turned right at the top to climb the Wall. We got peanut butter muddy there. Mooooohaha! The adventure began off Airport Rd. on single & double track. The ground was still frozen which was nice. We rode new trail sections as well. Challenging to say the least. We walked a 20% snow covered wall. haha Awesome ride. 3 hours 18 mins of fun! Hit the trainer on Zwift for a 20 spin before dinner. Oh  yeah!

Venga!

I hit the trainer for 15 miles on Zwift before dinner getting in my 2 hours for the day. Repeat that tomorrow then big ride for Thursday. Yeah!

Venga!

Double Sunday

Another double ride day. Quickie on Zwift then 1 hour 23 minutes outside on the fat bike with Josh. We hit some snow by the river which was a workout then headed South of Tipp on the rec trail. Around the blue water tanks on Sullivan then of course the hill up to 40. Nice urban terrain. Felt like Spring. haha 11+ hours in the saddle for the week. Rest week too. Good stuff!

Fatty Snowy Week Video

Fatty Sunrise Saturday

Final day of snow riding at TMBA before the thaw. Stole one before the snow got mushy. Nothing like riding on those trails in the Winter at sunrise. Minus yesterday's ride with Josh, I've had the trails to myself. Yeah! I'm at 9+ hours of riding despite it being a rest week. Too much fun. haha

Fatty Thursday & Friday

What a blast the last few days at TMBA enjoying the snow. Solo Thursday fun. Temps & snow pack were perfect. I hit Zwift on Friday after lunch followed by a fun ride with Josh. Troy had fresh snow. We pushed it down by lap 2. The sun came out as well for a bit. 21 degrees but no wind. Oh yeah! Man, snow rides rock! haha

Double Ride Monday

New week. Mo' training. Ride # 1 on Zwift. 21.8 avg for 48 mins. Some good tempo intervals in there combined with high cadence. Ride # 2 was a little colder. haha 10 degrees with real feel of -6. Boooom! Fun 1 hour 23 minutes in the saddle. The snow was still there, but under that snow was ice. Let's just say it was a bit dicey at times. lol Luckily Big Walnut & Swampy trails were not groomed, so I was able to ride on those. The snow was crunchy with plenty of grip. I was hoping to have another race Wednesday night, but the too slick. I stayed upright the entire ride. The sunshine made it feel a lot warmer. Hand warmers in my gloves were great too. Crazy to think 41 years ago when I started cycling that I'd be nearly 53 (years young) riding in arctic temps in the snow. haha Good stuff!

Zwift Sunday

Another double ride day on the smart trainer. 16.7 miler in the morning at steady 230 watts. I raced in the afternoon on the Zwift TT Club - Loch Loop 10 miler. Man those tt's hurt. haha Good effort despite losing connection. I still managed to take 3rd place. 36 miles on the day. 11 hours 21 minute week. 44+ hours in the saddle the last 3 weeks. Yeah!

Zwift Saturday

Double Zwift ridin' Saturday. Makuri Island world on the Farmland Loop. 4.5 miles long.  I did 15+ miles on both rides. 90+ minutes in the saddle.  Good tempo work on a crappy day. Looks like Zwift for the next few days with the polar vortex coming.

Fatty Snow Race # 2 Video

Mad Cow Ramble Fatty Snow Race # 2 - Mooooo!

Great day of training. Climbed Alpe D' Huez on Zwift before the race. 3,435 ft. of climbing. Yeah! On to TMBA. Sunny skies meant that temps would be dropping. 18 degrees for the warm up / race start. Great group tonight. Big Tim counted down then we were off. I had no plan other than ride, but the legs felt great. All the hours grooming the trails paid off. What a difference compared to last week's race. Great traction in the corners. The laps flew by. I was feeling it on the last few laps. My last lap was a good one tho. I crossed the line in 54:13. 11.8 mph avg. 14 degrees when we finished. haha Travis, Joshium, Betsy, Rick, Big Tim, Tebow, & Jon rolled in one by one all smiles. Man, what a blast. We made the most of the snow. Great job everyone!

Venga!
