Cow Country Thursday

 Day 5 in a row. Short 20 miler in Cow Country. It was nice not having the bug invasion. haha 2nd ride on the Emonda. 19,1 avg tonight. Steady tempo. I put in an effort up Pisgah Hill. 1 mile climb. Not a lot of tailwind, but good effort. The last half is always fun. Many great battles when we'd hit that all out to Studebaker then full gas to the finish to PECO. I almost have this bike dialed in. Love that paint job. Having 5 road bikes is crazy. haha Fun stuff!

Venga!

Westward Wednesday

Busy day, but I got out around 5:30 in Brookville. Rolled West to Lewisburg then just kept on heading West. It's been awhile since I've been on those roads. Rough chip n seal. Went as far as I could until I saw the rain. I raced it back which was fun. 35 miles. It was nice riding my Emonda ALR. Big Tim did a great job. New rotors & pads. I got home just as the rain came down. Mooohahaha

Casstown Tuesday

Another awesome day with upper 70's & sunshine. I got in a few intervals. 1 KOM. Missed two others  by 2 seconds. No tailwind either. I'll be back as the KOM holder had a good tailwind. Ride # 1 was 21 miles. I  hopped on my 2005 5.5 Madone built up with 9 speed for ride # 2. I rode just a few seconds then my shifter locked up. Argggg. Parts fell out. Bummer. Those were mint used and in working order, but it is old. I got on Ebay later. I found a new old stock Ultegra 9 speed rear shifter. Yeah! This bike is mint for 21 years old. Fun stuff!

Double Monday

Back on the trails after 2 weeks. Fun fatty ride at MoMBA with Big Tim. The weather was killer! Tim was fltying on that E-Bike. Ride # 2 on the TT bike. I've had a nagging foot injury which has hampered my race schedule the last few months. Simple riding is ok, but my foot hurts after all out intervals / efforts. It's better, but not much fun. I still set a new KOM on the 2 lap velodrome segment. It's technical at high speed on the TT bike. haha Good day of riding!

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!
