Lyrca-less.....
Here it comes, the weekend race in where I live. This is the first time since my back issues took my off the bike that there is a real race close by. I have pang's of 'just do it and who cares if I'm dropped in 1 lap' but I'm wise enough to know better. Last week I rode with a few buddies at lunch and everytime the road angled up, I was off the back and struggling. I know they turned the screws a bit b/c they know I'm way out of shape and were just having fun, but I KNOW how my legs felt and that they weren't pushing it that much.I'm still heading down to the race to cheer on my pal's that are racing. It'll feel wierd I'm sure, but right now my main goal is to stop the back pain. I've been sort of doing my exercises, mainly the stretching and some ab work... but it only seems to get worse. Next week I may just have to really get serious and join the gym at work and spend my 'lunch rides' in the gym doing core work and stretching. Sigh... sounds like no fun, but required to get me back on the bike.
My shit's on sale... Six13 is gone and so are the power cranks. The CAAD 8 is on the block now, Campy Record 10 spd next, followed by the De Rosa and a few odds & ins... lemme know if you an Liam need some shit for the semi's.
