Blue Streak TT

 

Wow a race! haha It's been almost a month. My schedule is crazy this year and a ton of events are the same day ot a day after a gig. Other than Cow events  and Blue Streak's, I don't know if I'll do any races the rest of 2026. Time will tell.  The warm up was kind of  meh. I headed for the start. Tebow sent me off. The first few pedal strokes were not great, but but by the first mile, I started feeling good. Finished really well. Pretty happy with that effort setting a new PR for the year of 20.7 mph avg. Pretty darn good on a fat bike. What a workout. haha T.Bolt & Buz did great. Sean won the TT with 29.6 mph. WOW!

Venga!

Medway Sunday

Well earned sleep in Sunday. Rain was on & off. I worked on bikes in the garage. I had a window, so I got in a 20 miler from Medway late this afternoon. I could see the rain coming at me. I raced back to the truck. I hammered Three Pronunciation Road segment. Missed the KOM by 1 seciond. Seems to be my norm lately. haha 30 mph avg. Good watts. I didn't have much of a tailwind either. Started raining as I drove home. Stole another one! I'm happy to be getting in 20 milers with all the muggy weather. Argggg Halfway through August.

Twin Towers Saturday

 Busy Saturday, but I got ouyt after the rain for a 23 miler. Back to Twin Towers Park. Love those roads.  The roads have been chip n sealed, but still fun. The short hills are always good for the legs. I put in a few intervals missing both KOM's by 1 secon d each. haha No wind, so the watts were pretty darn good. It was muggy again. It got worse in the evening at my gig. No wind outside. haha

Cow Country Thursday

 Another busy day, but I got out before the rain returned. 20 miler from Bethel in Cow Country. Another ride on the 5.9 Madone. This bike kicks ass. Rim brakes rule. I'll be back on my Emonda next week. Ordered new rotors. my 5,9 Madone is so light & responsive. If it were aero shaped it would be faster than today's bikes. Fun stuff! I worked my way West near old PECO then down Rudy. Up Jay's Climb NE to Walnut Grove. Tonight was a trip down memory lane. I don't look back too often. This year's had me contemplating life in many ways. When your parents are suffering it's tough. It's hard to believe I'm 54. It's crazy I'm still riding these roads. So many battles and characters. I miss the Ramble Days. Post Ramble racing got crazy. I was fortunate to win many TT's, gravel, & MTB events over the years. That era was special though. Every Wednesday was epic. Thanks to everyone who came out. I hope you are all doing well. I headed back to Bethel via The Cow Hill, Hamnmer Head Hill, & Pisgah Hill for a change. Seated tempo efforts. The legs felt good. I got back to the school then hopped on my TT bike for a 3 mile spin. It's been a few weeks. Just wanted to make sure position was still good. The rain started as I pulled away. Stole another one!
