Victory Ride -- 9/21/2004

2004-09-22T01:10:00.000-04:00

Smaller group tonight. Might be the last week for this ride. It's getting darker and darker earlier and earlier. We are already cutting out a fair amount of the ride due to lack of light. Going up hill to Northbrook, we real attacks but just a killer pace up the hill then the pace really picked up on the flat. One by one, people dropped off the back, leaving me pretty pleased to be in an elite group of 4 consisting of myself, Dr. Smooth, Fergie, and Trey. But finally, I, too, dropped off. After the harder parts of the ride, we had a conversational roll back to town. I got to talk to Ferg about his PowerTap system. He seemed happy with the system, but I still don't see the real benefit, nor can I justify the cost.

Tonight on the ride we were coming down this hill around a bend a this car (should I say Klunker) is backing out of his driveway. A car is coming from the other way. He should have seen us or the other car or both. I was second in the line and start yelling "SLOWING, SLOWING, SLOWING" and then finally "STOPPING". This guy throws it into drive and takes off in the direction that we were heading with his big meaty hand shoved out the window flashing us the bird. Yeah, I guess it was our fault he pulled out in front of us.

Cross season is almost here, and I ain't got a bike. I tried Campo 28's on my old road bike -- I had to deflate them to a ridiculously low pressure to get them into the frame, and when re-inflated they rubbed my campy single pivots. My old Wheeler has a Mag 21 with an 1-1/4" Head tube which makes its use for CX racing doubtful and makes conversion relatively expensive. I mean by the time I convert the Wheeler (i.e. new headtube adapter, new headset, new rigid fork, new stem, maybe new drop bars, new front wheel), I'd be well on my way to a new frame onto which I could just transfer my Ultegra 600 stuff from the Ox. My dual-suspension Fuel 95 would be a bitch to shoulder. There's a part of me that wants to buy a new bike, but there's a part of me that likes keeping as much of the green as possible. Any htoughts or ideas?

Ride with GR

2004-09-19T21:39:00.000-04:00

45 miles -- did surprisingly well considering the lactic acid still in my legs from yesterday's run.

Run!

2004-09-18T19:41:00.000-04:00

Today, I went for a run. The first in a long, long time. After the softball incident I have been reluctant to do much off the bike outside of a brisk walk. With the remants of Ivan having just come through the roads were too messy and likely flooded for a good road ride, and with cross season right around the corner it seemed a good impetus to run. Ran about 30 minutes with a few hill repeats thrown in.

Lack of Updates

2004-09-16T01:35:00.000-04:00

Not for lack of riding. I mean its not been as much as I'd like but I'm still getting out. I returned my HRM and am giving up on tracking mileage, time, etc. As a big a geek as I am and as much as I enjoy the data (even though I'm not employed I'm still an engineer), it was just taking some of the enjoyment out of just riding. Just for historical reference, I'm going to 'cheat' a bit and go back and fill in some of the missed rides.

Victory Ride -- 9/14/2004

2004-09-14T22:40:00.000-04:00

This was the first time this year we had to cut the ride short due to loss of daylight. I seem to be fighting a bit of a cold and couldn't believe how much it hurt me in hanging with the lead group tonight. My hypochondric self started to think that perhaps I was getting lead poisoning from my home improvement project. I never lost contact but was the last over the hill at Lieds tonight. We'll see how things go next week. And, oh yeah, got to re-meet Fergie, a great rider and great guy from back in the early '90's when I was racing MTBs.

With GR -- 9/12/2004

2004-09-12T19:46:00.000-04:00

Rode with GR. About 50 miles on a new route. It's always fun to try something new.

Supposed to Ride -- 9/11/2004

2004-09-11T21:49:00.000-04:00

Couldn't get out of bed to meet GR at 6:15 as both the munchkins were awake essentially non-stop between 2 and 4 AM. Lake clean-up and other obligations prevented a later ride.

Victory Ride -- 9/7/2004

2004-09-07T21:53:00.000-04:00

High tempo from the get-go. Hung with an elite group of 8 until just before 142 and 82. Then rode in no man's land by myself until two guys working together reeled me in. After a bit, one of the guys and I dropped the other. Regrouped with Dr. Smooth in D-Town and casually rolled back to WC together.

Politics Ride -- 9/6/2004

2004-09-06T21:01:00.000-04:00

Things get interesting today as Dr. Smooth whose humor and wit remind me very much of John Weld of IR fame verbally hammers Scott's Republican views for essentially the entire 33 miles. So while the rhetoric was flying, we were not.

GV Crit -- 8/26/2004

2004-08-26T23:08:00.000-04:00

Rode over and back again. Starting to get too dark too early to keep that up. Good work again tonight. A Bean's group went off the front and stayed away most of the race. I couldn't seem to get anyone interested in chasing them down. I never said as much, but just always tried to pick things up on my pulls. A couple of times got too excited and accelerated too fast. Again, still learning.

GV Crit -- 8/19/2004

2004-08-19T22:52:00.000-04:00

Ride over to GV Crit and back, with 30 miles racing in between. 50 miles on a Thursday night ain't too bad. It was getting dark on the way home. Legs and stomach started cramping. Not enough to eat or drink. And sleep was almost non-existent last night. However, still was able to go off the front, chase, and generally work hard without losing any laps. I am glad to see progress. Have to be careful though, as I have a tendency to become obsessive with cycling and other athletic endeavors. Family still needs to come first. That said, I am looking very much forward to attempting the full psychlo-cross season and doing as many of the MAC Series races as possible.

Victory Ride again -- 8/17/2004

2004-08-17T22:28:00.000-04:00

Didn't ride over this past weekend. Travelled to Ohio for family reunion. 11 hours driving Friday. 12 hours driving Sunday.

Tonight's ride was fast from the start. No need to worry about picking a fight on the way up the big hill. The Bean machine had a couple or more escape and well-organized but unmotivated group of 12 or so provided chase. I was in that chase, and just couldn't seem to get folks motivated to chase them down. They slowed down and 'let' us capture them down at the Brandywine. My new nemesis in Stargazer's. I can be right on Dr. Smooth's wheel at the relatively shallow climb leading up to it, and then we turn that corner, the road goes up, and I go backwards -- well, relative to RR and others. I have to remind myself that a few weeks ago I couldn't hang with the weakest riders in the group and now I'm able to hang with the top 5 or so. Stargazer's will eventually be defeated.

SG and RR and other Bob like to take it very easy back to WC from Dtown. It's almost too slow. We were at 20+ mph down into Dtown, and then by the time I get home we're down to ~17. I feel with my other obligations, I need to work a bit harder when I do get out. Maybe I'll start riding back solo.

2004-08-13T12:30:00.000-04:00

Rained pretty well last night, so skipped 'worlds' -- plus we were trying to pack to get out of here for trip to Ohio for reunion. Did the CTS workout at 5:30 am. Wore new HRM, but w/o having done field test -- just ballparked it.

time: ~1 hour

Victory Ride -- Validation

2004-08-10T23:51:00.000-04:00

Victory ride again. Just as last Tues, no one seemed very interested in mixing it up just before Northbrook and the hill leading up to it. So again, I found myself going off the front. Found myself asking "what am I doing?" again -- b/c although I didn't mention it last week since the pace seemed high enough and one of the bean's guys was there, I wasn't sure that my form was improving b/c several of the heavy hitters from bean's (including Reuther) weren't there, and that, perhaps, my ability to attack and finish with the lead group last week was a bit of fluke. But back to tonight, I managed to stay away until about 90% up the hill to Northbrook, at which point, the well-oiled bean machine pulled me in and kept going. Digging deep, I was able to jump on and stay with the group along with two others who'd joined them to create a six-man paceline (with one 'anchor'). Stayed together until Stargazers at which point the bean machine and one other dropped me and break-away partner from last week. We hung tough, and were able to keep them in sight, finished maybe 30 seconds back. Easy ride back to WC with Reuther, other Bob, and Scott.

CTS -- Climbing

2004-08-06T15:58:00.000-04:00

Did a CTS Climbing workout video on a borrowed trainer last night. It was kind of interesting. There's Chris Carmichael telling me to work out in a pre-determined heart rate zone and in certain, yet varying, cadence zones adjusting my gear selection on the bike to stay within these criteria. Having neither cadence nor HR info, it was difficult to make sure that I was doing what I supposed to. I tried to watch the small army of cyclists that were working out under CC's direction in order to match their cadence. Accuracy issues notwithstanding, it was a decent workout. One which left me, my bike, and the floor beneath me drenched in sweat. My friend who'd loaned me the trainer and video had warned me about the sweating. I figured he was exaggerating. He wasn't.

time: ~1.00.00

Where'd That Come From?

2004-08-03T23:42:00.000-04:00

Victory ride tonight. Missus got home from work late, so I was rushing just to meet the group at the usual spot, as soon as I crested the hill at the usual spot, there they were. Close one. Got in and worked up to the front. Felt antsy tonight. Also felt really good. But noone else seemed interested in getting things going. At each pull, I'd try to notch it up a bit. Finally, I said enough and went off the front. One other guy came with. Halfway up to Northbrook, I found myself wondering why I do this. Start out too hard on a ride where I have trouble finishing with the group. I reminded myself to ride within myself, but that was still fast enough to stay away. Kind of. About 3/4 of the way up to Northbrook, two guys caught and attacked me and my fellow escapee. We didn't respond. At Northbrook, two more bridged up and the four of us worked to pull in the new leaders. Caught them right before 82. Another chase group came up with another five or so, and we worked together for the rest of the ride, with only two falling off the pace. It felt awesome to finish with the lead group. Maybe all the riding is paying off. Or maybe it was actually getting a decent night's sleep.

Margaritas Make Your Legs Rubbery

2004-07-31T23:28:00.000-04:00

Note to self (and the rest of the world): Margaritas are not a good pre-ride beverage. Last night we were fortunate enough to spend some time with some of our neighbors. One family invited the younger playgroup set over for taco night. And, apparently, taco night isn't complete without margaritas and sangria. And our hostess was talking and distracted while pouring at least the first of my two margaritas. The two corona lights probably didn't help, either. Anyway, Greg and I still did ok on the greg loop:

dst: 37.8 miles
time: 1.55.14
av: 19.6 mph

we just didn't make much progress on our 21mph goal on this loop.

Asinine!

2004-07-30T16:18:00.000-04:00

I just read this article by Mike Imrem of Chicago's Daily Herald. Essentially, he minimizes Lance Armstrong's accomplishments in order to support his notion that "Top Athletes Don't Ride Bicycles". I don't even know where to begin, but hurriedly tried to send the following email:

I haven't heard the claims that LA is the world's greatest athlete. Even if there were claims to this effect, I don't see the need to tear down the man, his sport, or his accomplishments in order to push your clearly pro-contact sport views. Don't get me wrong, I am a fan of both cycling and football -- American football. Yes, it is possible. But to tear down LA's achievements because you claim he couldn't take a single hit in pro football and therefore is not a top athlete is akin to saying that a Ferrari or a Porsche is not a world-class car because it could not win a collision with a Hummer. Different competitions -- athletic or otherwise -- require different skill sets. Given RW's success in pro football, I would argue that he has a high percentage of fast-twitch muscle fiber, which in fact, would make it very difficult for him to hang with the boys on Le Tour for very long IF at all. He just would not have the endurance. The professionals riding in the Tour average over 25 mph on most stages, I doubt RW could maintain 15 mph over 100 miles. This, however, does not mean that he is not a top athlete. LA is a top athlete, perhaps not THE top athlete, but I do not think anyone could make that claim.

The email couldn't get through, his mailbox is full. Apparently he's pissed off a bunch of people.

GV Crit -- 7/29/04

2004-07-30T08:44:00.000-04:00

Rode out to the GV Crit last night. Arrived 30 minutes late for the 6:00PM start. It's all right though, as I had good work in getting there and sometimes my betrothed cannot get home in time, which is fine, at least I'm able to get out. Recovery seems to be getting a little better. Was able to play more off the front this time than the last, but did end up sitting out a lap. So better, but still plenty of room for improvement. Noticed Andy Neumann in the pack and got to speak with him for a while. A good dude who I haven't seen in too long a time. On the ride home, again had good work.

dst: 43.23 miles
av: 21.1 mph

Arriving at GV, pace was 20.1mph over 10 miles. After race pace was 23.0 at about 33 miles.

Victory Ride -- Reuther Flats

2004-07-27T21:22:00.000-04:00

Small group on the victory ride tonight. A lot of faces I've never seen before. Roads pretty wet from previous rain. Group kept getting broken up around things like railroad tracks and expansions joints, mostly I think because people weren't used to or confident in each other. Led the group up the last half off the climb up to Northbrook pretty hard, just past Northbrook Bob flats. He had nothing with him so I stopped to help. We finished pretty hard into Dtown, then easy back to WC.

Fuel 95 Christened

2004-07-25T22:34:00.000-04:00

Took the new Trek Fuel 95 over to French Creek with Dave and Curt. Rode about 1.5 hours. Full suspension is pretty amazing. I'd long been a skeptic and/or old skool hold-out. Not wanting mountain biking to become moto-cross without engines. But I'm a pretty solid convert now. Don't get me wrong, I still believe in earning your downhills, in fact, I almost prefer climbing to descending. What really impressed me about the full-suspension was actually its ability to make the rear wheel hook up on the wet and slippery and ultra-technical stuff at French Creek. Many thanks to the John and Kara at Immersion Research for their assistance in selecting and obtaining this ride. Visit them to check out their awesome whitewater clothing and accessories.

time: ~1.5 hours

Afterward, I had some help cleaning it off.

Tried WCCC -- Not for me (this day anyway)

2004-07-24T22:15:00.000-04:00

dst: 38.3 miles
time: 2.01.38
av: 18.9 mph

riding out of my 'hood, i realized that i'd have time to hook up with the WCCC. when i got to the aloha cafe, i didn't see any of my boys, so i just hung in the crowd, comtemplating whether to enjoy a solo ride or not. after a minute or two, i finally saw scott. trying to get through the sea of people seemed futile. i figured i'd catch up as we got started. someone yelled that the "A" ride was leaving in one minute. the sea of people spilled somewhat dangerously and irresponsibly into the road. rather than add to the chaos, i figured i'd just wait an hook up with scott after we got started. when i got to the front, there was no scott. i must have somehow gotten hooked up with the "B" ride. as i drifted back looking for a graceful way to cut out, the group started to roll through a stop sign where cross traffic does not have to stop. three or four just rolled right into oncoming traffic without warning those behind (i.e. "car left"). nothing. fortunately, the group did stop and no one was hurt. once through this intersection and another, i accelerated off the front and never saw them again.

Encouragement on Victory Ride

2004-07-22T19:13:00.000-04:00

Victory Ride -- 7/21/2004
rode out the normal spot and circled until the group came up. when they turned the corner all i could see were bean's jerseys -- actually there were two others but at first glance it was bean's team -- and noticeably fewer guys than normal. they were moving and it was intimidating. i got on and hung on until the hill up to north brook. i lost contact about 2/3 up the hill. part of me wanted to turn around, go home and lick my wounds. the more tenacious part of me won out and I persevered on the route. just before reaching 82, the rest of the group, essentially everyone else except the bean's crew, came rolling up on me. i finished the ride into Dtown with this group. Which is an improvement. Usually, I get dropped by everyone. Now just the very fastest are dusting me. Encouragement! Sweet.

time: 1.47.15
dst: 33.69 miles
av: 18.8 mph

even more than usual, av is artificially low. in addition to low speed waiting for the group, spent additional slow time riding to library to return book on the way to meeting spot. even at that av was 19.7 in Dtown, riding solo with moderate-hard effort back to WC av dropped off considerably.

considering a HRM. any of the three people who read this have any recommendations? i was considering the Polar 520 with the cadence option, but recently read some reviews of the 720 which were less than glowing concerning Polar's wireless cadence sensor. thoughts?

Greg Loop and Then Some

2004-07-17T23:39:00.000-04:00

with Greg did the regular Greg ride with a 20 mile loop added on. Climbing up SoChesCo's rolling hills, I could not push the images of George Hincapie leading the Postal train up La Mongie out of my head. Clearly, any similarities are only in my head, but its good to be inspired.

Great Valley Crit

2004-07-15T08:49:00.000-04:00

Rode over to GV from WC. ~10 miles. The group (at least 50) was already cranking around the loop. Jumped in and just hung out trying to get a feel for how things work. Seemed so slow (despite sometimes reaching 30+ mph) sitting in the middle to back of the pack. Started to work my way up and then eventually went off the front with two Bean's guys. After a couple of pulls I lost touch with them though and got eaten up by the pack, and then dropped by the pack. Guess I need to work on recovery after hard efforts. Moderate effort on the way back to WC.

Very windy today, but felt good up until a bug hit my helmet and dropped into my partially unzipped jersey, then proceeded to bite me no less than 3x. For the next 30 minutes or so, I could just imagine the venom coursing through my viens. Fortunately, I was riding toward Cape May hospital anyway. More fortunately, I was completely fine.

Family Ride

2004-07-05T20:25:00.000-04:00

Started the ride on the promenade in SIC. The boy child rode his bike the lenght of the promenade and then down on the street to 63rd street where we locked his bike up. With both kids in tow in the Chariot, we ventured over the bridge between Sea Isle and Avalon. We played at the park in Avalon for about 40 minutes, then loaded the crew up again. My betrothed pedaled solo while I pulled the kids. Ended up going down Dune Dr. to its end and then back again.

dst: 20 miles
av: 10 mph (lots of waiting on the promenade for a certain young man.)

even as the pack rolled up on us (reuther, scott g., myself) my hamstring (see previous post "bad test design") began to cramp. this, combined with the fact that the pack was already separated into a chase group and lead group, let me know this was going to be a hard ride. i was able to hang tough all the way up the hill past northbrook and almost to 82 before the pack dropped me. we were hauling at 27+ on a slight up grade in a serious paceline. unfortunately, this former mtb racer is not as fortunate as a former friend, who apparently was born knowing how to ride in a pack, and still have a lot to learn. at one point, after several of my faux pas pulls, this guy, Karl, gives me some pointers. don't try to accelerate so much at the front, don't pull so long. essentially, pull through and get off. i thought it was cool that he was willing to offer advice rather that just point and laugh behind my back. when we regrouped at Rita's water ice, i thanked him for his comments. He was cool. No roadie attitude. thanks, Karl.

*Interesting note: When riding you almost expect the rednecks to yell at you and give you a hard time. But tonight this well-dressed middle-aged woman driving a late model Volvo with her teen-age daughter in the passenger seat drives by with her window open and gives us the bird, yelling something like "You piss me off!" Go figure. Bob yelled, "Have a nice day!"

g.r. ride solo

2004-06-26T23:26:00.000-04:00

dst: ~37 miles

computer stopped about halfway through ride. speed had dropped off on hilly sections, but recovered well and was aiming to bring av back up to 19+. but even riding 20+ the length of 162 and then enjoying the 40+ coast down 162, my av seemed stuck at 18.6mph. after a while I realized that the computer had stopped -- probably pilot error. oh well. decent ride and that's what counts.

sat-in the whole way up past northbrook. then jumped in with a chase group to catch the leaders. good work. still have a long way to go. but generally pleased with fitness.

started the ride under overcast skies. by time we got to unionville, the sky had just opened up and was delivering not only copious amounts of rain, but also lightning and thunder. scary, especially after a local girl just got struck last week. also scary was racing down 162 at 40+ mph in a downpour with old Campy single-pivot brakes.

what's deceiving about the av on this ride, and probably always will be, is that it includes the time I spend looping around and around at the spot where I let the pack engulf me. still not a bad av, but not indicative of the quality or speed of this ride.

did the greg r ride solo. usually we can hit about 19 mph. today I felt great, and hammered this hilly ride. but which of several changed variables made it possible?

was it that I finally broke down and bought road shoes? really stiff carbon fiber shoes -- I did swear I could fear more power into every pedal stroke
was it that I broke down and bought Accelerade?
Was it the Ochsner -- which I finally got built up again but is about 5 pounds heavier that my Litespeed?
Was my computer lying to me?

either way, I'm anxious to try it again soon. unfortunately, I may not be able to for a while. I think I may have pulled my hamstring in that previously blogged about softball game that was replayed tonight.

the victory brew pub ride. Lots of guys from bean's. Other dudes who just look fast. Did this ride two weeks ago, and blew up going up the hill to northbrook. Tonight decided just sit-in, sit tight, and let the pack pull you along. No shame in learning the tactics. Well, at the top of the hill, one guy goes off, and while feeling good, I exert the self-control to sit-in. Then Reuther goes off, again I sit-in. Then four others go off. Heck, we're at the top of the hill and there's four of them. I got four pulls before I've got to really exert. When my turn comes around, I pull too long. Then as the others and the chase group go by I can't hang on the back. I seem to do this everytime I peel off when we're really moving. I misjudge how long its going to take me to get back up to speed. Once that gap forms that you can't, you might as well kiss that pack good-bye. embarrassing.

great ride today -- despite being up too late and enjoying a bit too much frosty good cheer with my neighborhood posse. we were supposed to have a neighborhood softball game last night, but it was rained out. the two captains decided instead that we should meet at a local watering hole and have an air hockey tournament. brews were enjoyed there. then the after-party was held at the home of a newer neighbor with a pool table and kegerator built into the bar -- I had to go. Regardless, I felt like I could fly. I was attacking hills in a way that I haven't in years. It was great. Even on a very hilly course, we were averaging 20.0 mph at 45 min, and 19.5 mph until we had to cut through town and all its requisite lights.
