getting close

so its been almost 2 months since my last update but nothing to big has come up. Cyclocross is only a few short weeks away. first big races will be starcrossed and then cross vegas. that is going to be a busy week. but until racing starts it will be more cross focused training full of drills to improve my skills.(ya i can rap) and lots of intervals. done a couple rides up in auburn with my teamate J-FERG and this last time Cody K. these guys will be dominating the us cross racing scene in the juniors and u23 cats this season until they come visit across the pond for 2 weeks in december as part of the proctor euro cross camp. looking forward to a nice ride around mt tam this weekend with the guy who got me started into racing a few years back. should be fun. as far as the eurotrip is concerned just about everything is pieced together everything is paid for except for the rental car which will be rather expensive but you gotta do what you gotta do. if anyone knows of any grants i could apply for please let me know.

until next time

training

just a quick update before going to bed. training is going well did a nice hard ride up mt hamilton over the weekend man is that one hell of a climb. today went out for a nice recovery ride and came pretty close to running over a snake which scared the crap out of me. training overall is going pretty good only 3 short months until cross begins!!!! time to start stepping up the training.

until next time

planning my trip

so even though the trip is months away it is already starting to come together.  Flight has been booked for october 14th leaving from SFO to BRU.  should be a fun 14 hours on a plane.  bikes and wheels are all purchased and waiting to be ridden. housing looks to be taken care of will have final comfirmation in the next couple weeks.

only about 5 months till i get to tear apart belgium cross 1 race at a time
