Team Camp next week

So this will be my last week of riding the rollers! And it could not come any sooner, we just got hit by a bunch more snow so i'm really itching to get some real riding in the legs.

Sunday is Christy's 24th birthday and I have some cool actvities planed and then at 3pm I'm leaving for the bus station where I will take a 10 hr. trip to Cleveland. If you did the math you realize that the bus will be getting to Cleveland at 12:30am! But its ok because my extremly willing team director Chad is going to come pick me up.

I'll hang out at his house the 23rd and get things ready to go to camp and the the 24th we are leaving for greenville SC! Camp is the 25th-1st and I could not be more excited.

After camp i'm going to head to Asheville with my coach Andy Applegate for another week of training. Christy is comming from home to meet up with us and also get the miles in. I think we may even visit her teammates in Banner Elk. I have been wanting to go there for a while.

Check back later I will post photos from camp and give a full report of how bad, or.... how good? I get hazed.

Thanks for reading!

Hey, nice whip

Christy just got her new race wheels yesterday thanks to Chris Mclaren at spinergy! I mounted some sweet new kenda rubber on them and threw them on, I think it looks pretty hott, what do you think?? I think she is going to make them go REALLY fast!

4.5 hr. ride + some good friends, good weather = good time!

This past weekend finally brought some awesome weather for the begining of feb. Saturday Christy and I got out for 4.5 hrs in 50 degree weather and sunday Christy and I made out way to Grand rapids to ride with some good friends and old team mates on a sunny 4.5 hr ride.

Its nice to start to get outside and log the miles but its just a tease because the nice weather will only last untill friday then its back to snow and ice......and the rollers.

Only a few weeks untill greenville training camp!!

Thanks for reading, well if anyone does? If no one is reading is this like talking to myself?

outside on my bike

I went a lot of days without riding my bike outside, I broke that streak yesterday! The temp finally made it up to 35 degrees. I have kinda made a rule where I don't ride outside unless it is 35 degrees out. The last outside ride I had was in florida, where is was in the 7o's but that was just a tease with just 5 days of riding.

Today it is high of 50 so I am headed out for a 4hr ride and sunday I'm going to grand rapids to get in a group ride with some old teammates for 5hrs. I will post some photos!

Coolest bike ever created, period

So I have decided to take the blogging to the next level, well I guess the next level would be to post something more than once a year so here we go, I'm going to try and make a new post once a week! Lets start with some pics of my new ride.

So I went to ohio to get a bike fit with Jim baldesarze and it went awesome! I have never had a REAL bike fit so it was good to get one. Jim uses the wobble-Naught fitting system and it took about three hours. It was well worth the long drive and time, the bike is so comfortable now, I have a feeling i'm going to be faster with the fit alone.

Here it is, this bike is amazing, every single detail of this bike is top the line baby!

Here is our kit, again it's pretty much the best looking kit ever designed, the hincapie clothes are awesome.
