eight weeks

if i accept the diagnosis, and i do, i really gotta do some training...

at least i'm not starting from scratch. this year i've ridden some 2700 miles, including three mostly flat double centuries and the mostly not flat death ride. but yesterday's ride should be a wake-up.

ride report, wednesday august 8
from foothill and voss. stevens' canyon warmup, montebello without blowing up, then met tc to take mt. eden, pierce, and congress springs. by that time, 38 miles and over 5000' vertical. i hurt. then we hammered on foothill expressway, stopped for cofffee, and met the team in training crowd for hill repeats on mt. eden. for the day, 76 miles and over 7000' of climbing. basically half a death ride, but it knocked me out.

bring it? well, bring it or not, it'll be here soon...
