Ice Skating on Two Wheels - Racing the Thaw   Thaw Thursday? Frozen Friday? Icy trails, squeaky brakes, and a 3 hour training ride cut short due to warming temperatures. When the exposed ground was no longer frozen, it was time to make an exit.

Gooey Gravel Goodness
Recovery spin on some peanut butter gravel.   
 Great day on two wheels with lots of smiles. Took yesterday off due to some oral surgery. Back at it today for an easier ride. 
 There may have been muddy roads, but we were more than happy to take advantage of the lack of snow and temperatures above freezing.

"In Desired Zone" - Tempo Ride in the Snow First ride on the new training plan back in what I considered my normal power zone.  Was NOT planning on recording any video, but the snow made me pull out my phone and press record.

It's moving... but it's stationary... and messing with my head! What, what?!?  Still working on wrapping my head around this. What an amazing sculpture/piece of art! I walked by this house and out of the corner of my eye saw it do a thing. I walked by a it a couple more times and was amazed. Then I figured I would try to shoot some video... .and this is the result! This piece is on exhibit at the National Gallery of Art and Sculpture Garden on the mall in Washington DC.

VO2 Max Interval
Short edit from a recent training session.
After a few warmup intervals, this was the long interval at the end of the session. The goal was 5 minutes, but I blew up at 4:30. It's been fun watching the gains and improving while competing against myself.

Paris in the Fall
Tumblr media
Went for a run from our layover hotel to the tower to do my interval workout.
The cloud cover and the brisk bite to the air helped keep me motivated to keep moving and stay warm.

Michigan Gravel at Sunrise
Sometimes, getting up and riding into the sunrise paints an amazing image. Sadly, an iPhone isn’t capable of capturing what we are able to experience. This is what my phone was able to capture.

It’s been a looong time
After being reminded that Tumblr exists when a friend was having issues posted, I figured I would log in and see if I could post.  It was then I realized it had been almost eight years since I had last posted.. so here we go. Time to see if this thing is still active.  Oh, and my friend is still having issues posting.

After a trip to my #lbs to verify it was just exposed carbon and a scrubbing with rubbing alcohol, the latest battle scars are on #stumpy are now at least sealed up with some carbon #epoxy. I do have some model paint to touch it up when this riding season ends (or I take a brake and ride skinny tires.) #specialized #specializedbikes #hashtag #lifebehindbars #stumpjumperht #stumpjumperexpertcarbon #29er #rockshox #brain #cardio #bestgymever #mtb #mtblife #iphone7 #iphone7plus #hardtail #hardtailmtb #scosche #iamspecialized #iamspecialized_mtb
