03.25.05 - active recovery

was the plan of tonight - with radiohead playing on the ipod, i did a steady easy ride for 3 hours. active recovery....

hmmmm... hard to do sometimes, as most times i am doing these rides some dork on a huffy whom hasn't lube his chain in 100 years and is riding in street shoes rides inches away from me on a paved bike path that is 10 feet wide and then 5 seconds he looks back to see how much he is putting the hurt on me.

it's usually about then when i unleash my furry and re-estabish the pecking order.

or, if i am hanging out and slowly riding with a pretty girl -- i grit my teeth and try to look away.

riding has been going good this week - rode every day so far except monday. feeling good, but the back is a little tight. think my k monkey is not setup perfect and i am a little too stretched out.

been testing the vega out - should have a post up tomorrow, hopefully along with the moots tailgator review. think i may do another review as things happen in 3's.

game plan for the weekend is two 6+ hour rides - sunday will have to start a little early because of the weather. companion for the ride is jim b. no set routes, just steady tempo work. and just for fun, when we get at about 5 hours -- it is full on race pace. no attacks, just ramp up the speed, take pulls as hard as you can, and hang on for your life.

we did one of these rides a few years back, with 3 other guys. except this tempo started around 5 mintues into the ride. 4 hours later, we had 100 miles in. hence, we declared that ride to this day "the all business ride."

now, the only business i have is warming up some burrito's...

hope it is rideable where you are at - thanks for checking my blog dawg.

sologoat out
