    Hills and headwinds on today's ride. The two descents pushing 50x12 and riding in the drops / staying off the brakes made it more than worth it. My head is rushing with endorphins right now like I've been on a half hour roller coaster. This is why gears are the shit...

    Where'd you ride man?

    • CommentAuthorstumptown
    • CommentTimeMar 3rd 2009
     

    3 climbs: Gimpl, Briggs Hill, and Fox Hollow (back way) with flat on Loraine. Quickly becoming one of my favorite rides because the descents are so damn fun. Some puke-inducing climbs to get to them though.

    Dude, when I lived in Eugene I used to ride Loraine hwy all the bloody time. I used to take Chambers until it hit Loraine, then follow that out to Crow, then loop around the lake by the airport. I remember that one MASSIVE climb on Loraine by that little ghetto market. Shit sucked.

    God, I do miss Eugene.

    • CommentAuthorstumptown
    • CommentTimeMar 4th 2009
     

    For sure, if there's one good thing about Eugene, it's that the road riding is good times and you can get out of the city pretty fast without having to go through a million stop lights.

    Did you ever do Macbeth or Fox Hollow, Kevin? Macbeth is our stomping grounds for sure...

    Not that I remember. Back then I was riding more to get rid of pent up anger and just let my mind wander than actually training. That was back in 11/12 grade

    I did 1.5h on the rollers tonight. Monotonous but effective, all the powertap data kept me interested. I've been sick and/or injured for the last two weeks so I've been taking things easy. I got a little bored at min 55-60. But other than that I was just trying to get some sub-threshold base going.

    Hows your back? I was gonna hit some hills. Tabor/Rocky/Tabor.

    Your fit aint legit? Too much/little reach? Weird wrist angle?

    I had some crappy profile bars on the shark, and barely used the drops. Put on some Ritchey Biomax bars, suddenly they are super comfy.
    I ride on the hoods 70% of the time or so. Then split the rest between drops and tops. If Im trying to go fast and keep my profile down I can sit in the drops a good while, but I have enough saddle to bar drop that im already a littel hunched over by default.

    Bike fit issue. Probably bars too low and your neck gets tired of being titled up. Is this on track drops?

    For sure. Id love to go on a long flat ride, but I gotta get in some pain for the BB.
    And with the days getting longer it should be easier to ride after work here soon.

    yeah track drops.

    Could be do to a weak core. Not sayin' you have one, but this could be an issue. If the abs and back aren't strong all the weight is put on the shoulders an neck.

    If this isn't an issue, and you have six pac abs or something, it might be a reach/drop issue.

    You know those little foam rolls at the veloswap right across from you? There are some exercises you can do to help with that. Or jsut take it easy and hope it gets better.
    Can you feel your knee hurt when going down stairs? If so its def the ITBS.

    I was actually gonna jet from work really soon. I can wait till 4ish though.
    Itll be a good work out trying to keep up with you small frame climber type. :)

    Core strength is everything. All I have right now are a bunch of loose ribs clacking together and it fucking sucks. My skeleton is all fucked up.

    ITBS is a bitch, and has been troubling me off and on for years. It's a tough stretch, but DO it before the thing gets really inflamed and you can't even look at a bike. Had me off for 4 months one time and I was hating life..

    There's a minor surgery that will fix it too, if nothing else works.

    Damn Abe, wish there was something I could do to help. You have ins for a doc?

    I took a couple yoga classes, and im surprised how much it kicked my ass. Core strength is zero for me.

    Crossett, so you in? Can you swing up to my neck of the woods after your paper? Give me a ring.

    No insurance= mucho, long-term pain for me. But, I'm used to it, and I always heal up eventually.

    I think if I can overcome the pain enough to get fit, it will be less of an issue for me. I need to lose 15 pounds like yesterday...

    K, well lets figure out some more flat long road rides. The hard part is I race on Sun, and work all week. Making my only free day Sat, which is the day before I race so I cant kill myself. =/

    Maybe a little 20-30 miler after (or before if you can wake up). Im down. I need to start doing more stuff besides commuting and weekend rides.
