Almost Ready to Rock
I am just about good to go. The playlist is set. I have music on there from Beck, to the Chemical Brothers, to Phish, to Led Zeppelin and a ton of stuff in between. Over 200 songs. All designed to keep me going at night. I’ve ridden with music before, but never raced with it. […]

It’s That Time Again
I relegated the road bike to the trainer in the basement tonight. I did a decent 50 minute workout. 15 minutes of warmup, 25 minutes of interval work, 10 minutes of cooldown. One thing that can be said for the trainer, is that you can just zone out. You can put your head down, close […]
