i've heard good things (on tarckbike) about athena 11. more "budget" than super record or whatever else, heh.

Yea. Road fuck unite. Had a great ride today doing the Canby Fairy route. One wrong turn but we just rolled it and took the shitty 99e a couple miles. The ferry was kind of fun to do with a nice climb out coming off the river. Some nice hills, nothing above id say 200-300 of gain at a time.

That ride had the opposite effect on me, but after three hours of being back I can finally feel my feet.

Apparently scattante is the present progressive form of the verb scattare which means 'to be released'. I think it is a fancy way to say shitty and lazy

Incase any of you need a new fork, veloshop has a bunch of new and newish take off forks for sale. EC70s and EC90s. New EC90slx is like $125 .. A couple of cross forks too (an edge cross fork also). can't really get a better deal anywhere.

Jebus. This stuff is coming on fast. What cat are you people racing? I am feeling fat and lazy. Can we just cruise, smoke some weed in the woods for a couple laps then have a 2000m mass sprint? Sounds way more fun.

AGREED. I like to think CAT 5 road races should be centered around smoking weed and bunch sprints. Crashes too.

I've been trying to train to my weaknesses (hill climbing and cardiovascular threshold mostly) this winter. I went from being able to run for about 5-10 minutes to being able to go for about an hour. I'm building up a little muscle on my upper body too. My core, chest, and arms weren't quite strong enough to keep myself stable starting the higher gears so I started working with a couple 16kilo kettle bells and I'm starting to see some satisfying results just inside of two months from starting.

Ill prolly miss racing with ya then. Unless I keep the Landshark (which Im slightly considering…looks like some good crit series out east).
Im gonna be out of shape for early season stuff, but screw it. As long as I stay up right I will be happy.

I was pretty shocked to see you were racing in the same CAT as me at piece of cake last year, Kevin. It was my first road race and I crashed early and never caught back up with the pack. How long have you actually been racing road for?

I'm not looking forward to it either, but at least it's not a 10 minute climb.
If I can get a good result in the 3's, I'll be happy. We'll definitely have a few teammates out there but I know one of them is hurting bad to win the race in my category.

Very quick progress. Were you doing anything before you started racing that helped you with that heavy ass sprint or did it just kinda come naturally when you began?

I was a rugby player for a good long while before I started riding. Was also a pretty decent rock climber. Both use a lot of leg.

According to my friend who played rugby with you, you were always really fast and explosive in the first quarter and then cooked by the end. Sounds like a case of... fast twitch majority.

Hey its Kyle Murphy here
Anyone racing cherry pie tomorrow?
I can get a ride there but the kiddo I'm getting a ride from is racing 5bs and I am racing 4s and don't want him to have to wait around for a couple of hours to give me a ride home.
So yeah, if anyone is racing in the pm, ie 1/2, 3, or 4 and wats to give me a ride home with my bike, that'd be kinda cool.

4s still have plenty of spots open. Which is good. Somehow, I managed to register as a womens cat4..... I emailed the race director twice, but no response. Guess I'll have to hash it out tomorrow.
