Sorry it's been a while. I've been busy. Bike racing! And my God has it been fun.
So I finished the Tour of America's Dairyland. (I'll fill you in on those details soon) 8 races in 10 days. It pretty much killed me but after 3 days of rest I got my rear end back on a bike - a track bike to be more precise and although a little rusty I got a pretty respectable 3rd in one race and 9th overall on the night.
Not content with one lot of track racing, I got up 12 hours later and hopped on the bike again. Again I was rusty but got 4th in the devil.
Why the heck not, I also raced today! A nice little 25 mile crit. No turns, just nice sweeping bends. It was fantastic. My legs felt great. I chased stuff down and I attempted to lead my team-mate out. (Turns out I suck at lead outs) But I got 6th in the end - out of 30 - so not a bad effort.
Thus, to conclude. I am flying. My legs feel great and I want to race and race and race.
Whoop!
...Well come and get those legs ASAP up the Tourmalet!!
ReplyDeleteThe tour will be in Luz next week but won't be the same without you there...dunno who I'll be able to find to play the nobby and stobby game with, or to join me in getting chatted up by random American cyclist blokes...
...oh and happy 4th of july! (Whatever that actually means!!)
