Yeah, I've just seen a bunch of threadless set-ups on google images/velospace so I was double checking.

Tabor ain't egomaniac...

ill 2nd that. james and damien are killers.

Damn it Cam, don't talk shit on Damien, I'm coming to shut you down!!!!

Well if you wanna know our secret, it's to start every morning with coffee, a warm cinnamon roll, NYT, Sudoku and KenKen followed by about 20-60 deliveries in the AM, double that every April, July, October, and Januaury. Then about an hour or two of pinball conveniently interrupted during some wailing by an "urgent" delivery, followed by a bunch of afternoon cleanup stops, then some more coffee, some happy hour pints and more pinball followed by a few more beers to calm the nerves. Then if it's a race day(Thursdays always the busiest) i might work Sharkey's share of things as well, then ride a 50/16 out Alpenrose with a spare wheel and my tools/work gear in tow.
If everyone does this I'm sure good will come of it.
I don't know, if there's a better training plan, I've yet to hear of it.

MOTORDOME, where being competitive is second place.
(also, go Blazers)

Unless, of course, you're trying to do a youtube coming out of turn 4.

No one can shut down Motordome... unless perhaps you are a faulty alternator whose pulley does not line up. Anyhow, for a couple of guys that spent the entire winter sitting on the couch eating snacks, playing pinball until the bars threw them out, and not training whatsoever, Corndog and Magnum did pretty well. Let's give 'em hand! I can't wait to see what next year has in store. And also, they are a couple of the nicest guys you'll meet, and never once have I heard them sh!t talk anybody - so please, if you want to "shut so and so down," it'd be cooler if you kept it to yourself or at least not voice it in a public forum. Motordome is not about competition, it is about Travel-N-Fun! And you don't have to be on Team Motordome to be on Team Motordome! Also, Motordome is much more than just cycling, or James, or D. It's about pajama cannons, it's about Pegacorns, and road trips, and chocolate cake, and Griz eating chocolate cake, and brewing beer, and hard cider, and vegetable gardens, and teammate Chicken burying us in pastries and snacks that she is baking in the Motordome oven, or being killed by Greg's smile, or getting GC, or getting GC on Motordome (after we own it) while at a cross race (after we trailer it there), and puppies, and puppies that can EAT YOUR FACE! We just want to have more fun. FUZARD US TO WIN IT MODE!

its true, after my ritual training over the winter of smoking cigarettes and drinking girly vodka cocktails, griz still beat me in a sprint :(

We are sponsored by three different places that bake some great pastries. I will need them if I try Cam's weed method. Maybe we can transform into Team Muffin Tops by the start of next year.

When is the best time to go to Alpenrose to take the beginner track classes?
I'd like to get more into sprinting and learn what else is out there, but it's almost winter...
And cross season is coming, but it's expensive keeping brakes and rims and spokes in good condition.

oh, thanks.
I guess I'll just do sprints and goldsprints and try to get in top shape for next season...

honestly, I'm not sure.
I've done goldsprints and love it.
I used to race XC MTB.
I like a good workout, but I find going around in circles and only turning left kind of, well, let's just say "not my thing".
I like the competitive nature of sprints, and I like the 200m format.
I really want to race, but CX gets really spendy and I don't see myself excelling due to equipment limitations and because I really just do it because I love how brutal, dirty and fun it is.
But I would love to get into sprints to see how fast I can get, and I love having something that pushes me to get faster, leaner, stronger, etc.
I also really like training cooperatively and having people to track progress with.

As for coaching, I'll probably pass for now, mostly due to timing, budgeting and geography issues. (I'll be in Tahoe from mid-November through March)
But tips, especially training tips, would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

You do know goldsprints at the bar shares almost nothing in common with match sprinting, right?

Did you know that

doesn't equal

Yes Joe, I'm well aware that black dudes refuse to fuck with the Power Pad.

That's why match sprints are my favorite. Usually only a lap and a half of actual effort and I get to stare down people and swerve all over the track like a crazy person the first half. They're great.

Candi said otherwise :[

unsticking until next year :-)

Because everyone on this forum cares about nats...

I would love to hear about natz, but no one has been posting anything in this thread. So cyclocross has taken over.
