Cold and Chilly Month of December

Lots of fun stuff this month. Rain, cold, snow, deep freeze. I did fix my Xbox360. And, Ed is now doing the Zuzanna 550 workouts. I managed to get my weight down from 165 to 160 lbs. This is good stuff. My power to weight ratio just increased. Team Captain said our emphasis was Road Cycling, not cross and not mountain biking. So, I pretty much dropped cyclocross training and went straight into Road Base training. Soon, the PowerTap will be attached to the bike and I'll be able to Train with Power.

My workouts are pretty simple at this point. Long Rides on Saturdays, Recovery Ride Sundays, Hill intervals on Tuesdays, and Speed invertals on Thursdays. Gym workouts: Sunday is shoulders, biceps, and core. Wednesdays is chest, biceps, and core. Scoobysworkshop is da bomb. And, Zuzanna gives good form tips, as someone pointed out. Cheers!

My Niner

Here's my 29er bike. It looks pretty much the same as Michelle's Niner bike. No differences to mention, except for the older components on my bike, like crankset and cable discs. On this ride, we went to Tamarancho and rode some sweeeet singletrack. I had a few shifting problems, but very minor.

Michelle's Niner

What's this? a 29er bike? Yup, it belongs to Michelle. It's her Niner mountain bike. Small size frame, A&W Rootbeer color, Rockshox Reba fork, Shimano hydraulics, and other cool stuff. Very nice bike.

29er Mountain Bike

Here it is. My singlespeed 29er mountain bike. Sette frame with Rockshox Reba fork, soulcraft chaintensioner, 32x18 gearing for Prairie City, Avid mechanicals, and Kenda Klaw tires. This bike rails! Sette really knows how to make a nice frame. The small size frame fits me perfectly. The handling is superb. I pretty much ran 28 psi on the bumpy courses. Excellent bike! 4 out of 4 stars.
