double take...

So I really did see a guy riding down Apperson with a full on carbon disc wheel today. Full on tri-bike decked to the halls. His buddy up the road of him was rollin' a pair Hed 3's. It was a well deserved chuckle after a super tough 3 hours.

Nifty iPod Trick

Now that it's winter time, my iPod is usually sandwiched in between my jersey and a vest or jacket. I've found that this tends to create condensation on the iPod. While I haven't found this to be a problem... I don't want it to become one. Here's my solution: You know those old bike socks with holes in the toes? Yeah... just put the iPod (or anything other mp3 player) in the sock. Simple enough. So far it's worked well...

It's gettin' cold outside!

Can't forget Walker...

Don't want to leave Target's brother Walker out either... I don't think he wants to go to any races anytime soon though...

Racin' Wife

She doesn't race... but she loves goin'! Not too big on time trials though... but managed to crack a smile at this one!

Racin' Buddy

People take their dogs to races all the time... it's a shame you can't take cats! Target clearly wanted to go to this one!

Reloaded.

The "offseason" has passed, and it's time to start rebuilding for next season. I enjoyed my time off... maybe too much! Milkshakes, burgers, a lot of food! So it's time to straighten up. I've never been big on calorie counting, but I'm going to at least try and pay a little attention to it this year. Last year I never really got to race weight. Oops!

So what's new? I've started seeing a chiropractor for some adjustments. Dr. Walter has been adjusting my fairly crooked body. Perhaps crooked is an understatement! Nevertheless I'm very optimistic that I will be much more comfortable on the bike in 2007! It helps to have an expert uber-certified fit techinician at my disposal to help adapt changes to my lower back/pelvis on the bike!

My next move to is to focus on core strength. After a year of nothing but riding my core strength and stability has all but disappeared. It's amazing how little you use your core in cycling... but just how important it is.

Things are looking good for JRVS in 2007. We've got some new riders and everybody returning seems super motivated for '07. We should have a super strong Cat 3 squad!

Anyways, I think that's all for now!
