Monday marked the first day of actual purpose directed training for me outside of the group road rides. Heading out of the house at around 5:15pm to pick up a Fulcrum spoke wrench from
Bike Tech and then proceeded to finish my 20 minute warm-up before heading over towards Lookout Park hill for a few uphill intervals. As I crossed over the river from George Wyth and made the turn to the river trail, I saw Super Saul heading my way so I slowed my pace just a touch for him to catch up. He decided to join me for my intervals, only had five of them on the schedule for the first session, and so away we went climbing, then descending, then repeat. It's always good to have company for things like this not only for conversation but, to keep yourself motivated to do it all right. After the intervals were done we rolled through George Wyth and over near the Cattle Congress before going back home. Good workout that opened up the legs as well as got them ready for some longer intervals later this week.
Speaking of the Cattle Congress, the Federal Government had set up shop there about a week ago although no one in town really knew why. Well, today everyone found out why when over 300 people were arrested in Postville, IA for
"...criminal and civil charges including identity theft, improper use of Social Security data and other crimes". It's being referenced as the largest raid in the history of the state.
The large crash in Sydney Australia
last week has found it's moron culprit.
Small blurb here about it if you scroll to the bottom. The guy is an idiot, period.
For those of you that love (or hate) the "paintball" or "bubble" style long sleeve Cannondale jerseys that I wear, the short sleeve versions arrived a few days ago from The Smackdown so I'll be able to provide you all with plenty of color year round now. Smackdown Rules!!!!!!!!!!!!
