Rolling Along

Training is finally starting to roll after a short setback due to a bout with a little cold. Back in the gym lifting, hitting the trainer for 1-leg pedaling drills etc (which are getting tough as i put a 2lb weight on my helmet to help strengthen the neck muscles to try and avoid Shermmer's Neck), the CX bike for great long winter rides under "high-tension" circumstances (snow) and some hill climbs to keep in touch with intensity. Todays ride with Sumo, Brownie and the Mexican Mafia was awesome- the river bottoms are always great with fresh snow.
I'm pretty fried after a 20hr week, so i'm looking forward to a few easy days, a massge from Larry (The Fix) and then heading to San Diego for some quality volume and mountain training - on the RAAM course....oh, and 70 degrees, 4 layers of clothing not necessary!
