S-Moot(s)-h

I received a used Moots Vamoots SL a few weeks ago and built it up with some sram red shifters and rear derailer(I can never spell this word!). I also have a DA drive train which actually works well with the sred. A few weeks ago I got back into the training mode and this past week I picked up the pace. 1+ Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, 2 hours on Saturday. And a nice 2 hour ride on Sunday with Jeff & Troy(no time for a nice 4+ hour ride). It was a pleasure riding the Titanium Moots, the thing was smooth and responsive especially with my Mavic Premium SL with some Swalbe 'R's. Jeff and Troy have been training for the Providence Marathon, their avg hr were well below mine. WTF!

...now no more excuses, I need to ramp up the training and need a new goal! Maybe Green Mountain!

TI! coming soon!

Picked up the training this week, nothing to exciting just putting in the efforts! I need to spend about 3-4 more weeks in-doors. My doctor would like me to remain off the "Road" for a few more weeks (4) before I try to use my shoulder again...we'll see.

I did treat myself to a little bike lust over the last few days...will be posting images soon.

The comeback!

It's been awhile since my last post...

My training was the most inconsistent in 3 years, illness(bronchitis, sinus infections, etc.). I did get my conditioning to the point were I was ready for the 3/4 criterium race in Plainville CT. Unfortunately, about 40 minutes into the race I was pinched going into the 1st corner of the course and hit the pavement and then my shoulder smacked the curb which snapped my collar bone. So, after two weeks of dealing with a funky looking shoulder, I went under the knife. Two days after surgery and some pain killers, I'm ready for the comback....Originally I had my sights set on Battenkill for my 1st 'A' priority race now I need to pick a different race. We'll see...

...oh yah..to the guy the pinched me..thanks! Shit happens but you could at least have checked on how I was doing.

This is the corner...
