I've had two cross races so far this year, my first race up in Heber went well, I got out a bit slow and ended up passing people the whole race finishing 9th.
The next week at RMR was nuts. A crash at the first barrier - and a resulting brake problem - took me down from the top 10 to last. More trouble came a lap later, when my shoe came undone and I got pushed into a pole holding the course tape. Two setbacks set me way back. I set a goal to pass at least one person a lap and ended up 14th out 28 finishers.

Cross Races in Ocotober
Friday, February 9, 2007
It's been a slow week for me, school's been taking over my riding time. I did get out a few days and am planning on a great 4+ hour ride tomorrow, and a twilight ride tonight. I did however get my mountain bike built up again as a single speed and had a great ride on it last Saturday. I forgot how fun mountain biking is.
I feel bad that I don't get to post a new picture of my 2007 race bike, coz I'll be riding the same one this year, but I'm happy that I get to get a few upgrades, probably drivetrain stuff, but possibly some carbon tubulars if I find the right deal. Mostly I don't care, I just want to race and ride as much as possible.

Today we had a team ride at Elevate in Orem, which is an awesome facility! They had about 8 computrainers that we all rode on while watching the '06 tour on the projection screen. I rode about 2 hours which was about all I could handle. I was riding single which meant I really relied on trainer resistence, which the computrainers were great at. After about two hours I went out with Matt to do hills. Unfortunately, with my gear ratio I couldn't make it up the steep foothills in Provo we planned on doing. So we did some smaller hills, 9th east a few times, and then came back home. It was a good ride but I think I'm going to put my gears back on.

10 degrees
Well, here we are in the middle of an abnormally cold January, where it hasn't gotten above 20 for a week. Sometimes you just have to get out and today I couldn't resist. It was only 10 degrees so I bundled up and went out. I only had time for a 45 minute ride, but at the end I was still warm enough to keep going . . . which measn I'll have no problem getting out in this insane cold anymore! I was out on my road bike that I've got set up as a single speed right now. I've got it at a 50 x 18, which is a great all around gearing.
