25 Miles of KM Pain

Ouch.

I was not ready for this and I am paying for it. It is become more clear everyday that at my age and my physical/mental capabilities, I should never do more that 20 miles of mountain biking.

This is no different than my running days. I never had the capabilities of ever racing anything over 5k.

My Last Cannondale...

I love my new Cyclocross 5, but it may be the last new C-Dale I ever buy. The news a few weeks ago just crushed me.

I am not a 'Made in the USA' person, but no one can convince me that a machine or a person in the Pacific Rim can weld better than someone in New England.

Holy Hill or Holy Hell

I have the best training ground in my backyard--Holy Hill. My 45 mile romp through the area was topped off with an ascent of St. Augustine. I had no business traveling through these hills on a Saturday in April, but I had to find out what kind of shape I am in this early in the season.

It is looking good...really good.
