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!
