It's the truth. Yesterday I finished a very long, difficult training ride for the LT100. Once I got service, I checked my email, and in there was this from a past client: "Ride until you see the Light, until you see that you are part of the Divine. Ride until you remember why you ride. You ride for your health. You ride, for the joy. You ride because it makes you a better person. You ride to feel better. You ride, because it's important to take care of yourself, so that you are here another
Every Ride Should be so Good
Started ride it was 68 degrees, with cloud cover. That made my MN blood so happy. :) I finished it was sub 80, double happy :) :) My Awesome Ride: consisted of Elena/Tram/La Luz x 2/Tram Elena. You can see it's my mini Leadville. I wanted to head to Socorro today to do "Leadville" Topo. There's been a change in Monsoon patterns, bringing them earlier, and I wanted to make the most of my morning. So with the change in monsoons patterns, I changed my workout. Tuesday's ride left me with a TSS score of 271. That would
Yesterday I solved all the World’s Problems
8.5 hours on the bike will do that. Especially without music. I don't like to listen to music when I exercise, it blocks out God's Voice. I started my ride off with heading down Tramway. Lot's of folks out riding yesterday but one gentleman caught my eye. The guy with one leg. Tramway climb is my least favorite climb in the world.

I usually get mine from meat. A lot of attention on L- Carnitine. Carnitine helps the process of AMP into ATP. as well as help maintain glucose uptake and availability. The latest research is tending towards the importance of L-Arginine. L-Arginine is a precursor to NO(nitrite oxide) If this is foreign to you then check back on an
San Juan Hut to Hut with Terra Firma Racing
The best way to describe it is Wow; Wow-zapalooza. What is Hut to Hut? It's a 6 night adventure via bicycle through a hut system from Durango to Moab: I committed to the event about a year and a half ago. I committed to schlepping the kitchen through the San Juan Mountains. I love Back Country. Although 6 days would be the longest I have gone. I knew the truck would hold up well, as the guys at the shop said, it's the best shape they have ever seen the make and model of my vehicle.
