Saturday 19-12-09- 4 hours. Chris b-day ride. I sold my road bike and had to use my tt-bike dropped out right after Nicasio I would say around 55 miles and 4 hours. Completely tired from the ride today, but it felt good and I was able to chase and close some of the gaps that were opening. Woohoo!!!

training

I'm going to force myself to write my training log on here, so I can keep a history of my training and look back on it to see what worked and what didn't worked.

Thursday: I was supposed to meet two friends of mine at the polo fields, but it's been unusually cold in SF and I've been struggling to recuperate from a really bad sore throat that left me coughing blood for two days. Riding down to the polo fields it started to rain and I'm way to scared to get sick again. So went home and decided to ride the rollers which proved to be a killer training guide for me this year.

Jumped on the rollers for 1 hour, did a five minute warm up and then started hammering it on the 53x17 for an entire 50 minutes to some cycling videos from youtube. Completely out of shape, at the 30 minute mark my bum started to hurt and get numb, but I kept going at it and forced myself to keep the pace high.

easton ea90 aero

Finally!Got some new wheels. EASTON EA90 aero. I was originally going to buy the Williams 30's, but with their new shipment not arriving until the 17th. Decided to go online and do my research for other wheels that compared to the 30's. Looking around I came across the EASTON's which are hand made, aero, decent weight and so on. Then I suddenly came across a good deal on ebay with a decent price, brand new in box and a seller with 100%rating. Decided to get them and within 5 exact days they arrived on my doorstep.

I will be testing them out, and putting updates if your interested you can ask me any questions about them.

So first of, I have to start with my physical shape. This is important for me because the lighter the weight of a rider the less tear, wear and damage you do to the bike and components.

Weight no more than 150lbs but I tend to drop all the way down to 130-135ish.
Height-5'10"
My weight is so low that I only pump my tires to 115psi, because any higher and I bounce all over the place with any little crack on the road.

First thing they look darn cool on any bike. I only had a chance to ride them for about 3 hours, first impression-silky smoothe, fast, quick and responsive. A bit rough, but hey we don't ride to feel like were on a sedan.
