Uneventful training week.


My brother, Evin w/ Vince Neil in Chicago somewhere.

Due to it being a rather uneventful training week, you get a pic of Evin w/ Vince Neil. I guess he was doing some promo for a brand of Tequila or something so Evin went over to meet him.
3 highlights:
1) Tuesday was a hard trainer w/ RS doing flat intervals, but me attacking hills. This means he rides hard on the flat stretches, I attack and ride hard on the hills, then he catches back up when it flattens out and I have to get back on his wheel. Really good road training.
2) Wed I went out to do a big gear TT workout on Bottom Rd, which was closed due to bridge work about halfway out. So I had to make several 180* turns to get the intereval done. A little different, but it worked.
Wed night there was a litle get together for the going away of a good friend, Tim Cote, and his lady. They're moving next week to North Carolina. He's a good friend and great athlete; they'll be missed.
Tomorrow is IN St RR in Fishers. We my ride MTB's Sunday. I got some nes stuff for my MTB, but I don't plan to get it all on and ready anytime soon. I need new wheels, as my rims are starting wear, so I decided rather than rebuild V-Brake wheels in 2008-2009, I'd spend a little more and get disc brakes and wheels. I got the brakes, but have no wheels for them yet. When I make the changes, I'm going to build my Chris King hubs into cyclocross wheels. It'll be sweet.
So, I'll make over my CX and MTB in the coming months, and it isn't really going to cost too much!

I too "attack the hills," this is when I pass a majority of the riders, but on the flat.... that is when they catch up with me or pass me.
