Fatty Tuesday

Back on the bike after a rest day. Well, a heat rest day. Crazy temps. I work in it all day too. Yikes! I met Buz in Urbana at 8:00 for a fatty ride. Temps were still 90. lol We took the SKT South which was shaded. We then took rough rollin' chip n seal roads West to Terre Haute. Fun few hills too. Even hotter tomorrow. Probably a late nighter or rest day. We will see. 

Venga!

Single Track Sunday

 Fun trip to Michigan with Joshium. Double ride. # 1 at Potowatomi trails. Never been there, so always fun riding new trails. Fun hills. Josh had his FS working on the downhills. Fat Bikes rule! Ride # 2 back at DTE. So much fun. Love that place. 3 hours 15+ mins with 2,500+ of climbing. Oh yeah, stole it as all the trails here were closed. Moooohaha

JB Thursday

 

Nice being on some single track. Rain is coming too. The legs weren't bad after yesterday. Spin ride, but at good tempo. So sad that Doug passed after being hit by a car this week. Doug and his wife have made JB a killer place. So much time dedicated over the years. Thanks Doug. You will be missed.

Mad Cow Ramble TT # 6

 

Mad Cow Ramble TT # 6 in the books. 87 degrees, but beautiful day. I wasn't feeling great on the warm up.  I started well but after a few miles things got ouchie. lol I fought hard to the line. 25.7 avg. The wind kicked up on the 2nd half so the avg speed was low. Watts looked pretty good tho. Sean is just on 10 more levels. He was flying. Buz & Tebow killed it on the fatties. I did my 2nd TT on the fat bike at 19.1 avg. Great job guys!

Busy day all around, but I had time for a 21 miler on the 5.9 Madone. Recon'd tomorrow's MCR TT route. Awesome afternoon to be on the bike. We'll see how the legs are tomorrow. Slight tweaks to the position. It feels good, but tomorrow will tell the tale.

Weekend Wrap Up

Busy few days. Time flies! I got out Friday night in Cow Country for a road ride. Another rest day Saturday. Storms rolled in Sunday, but I took a chance. I stole on in Liberty on the fatty.
