Ninja comes out to start training again.

Well, I’ve started training again for the season a few weeks ago…Weather up here in Nor-Cal has been cold, Rainy and Snowy, so it’s been kinda hard to get motivated to jump on the bike when it’s freezing cold - even if it’s on rollers in the garage! Now that we have some sunshine, and the spring weather is here, I am now dragging my butt back on the bike! First few rides on the road were pretty painful… but it’s taken me about a week and a half, and I’m starting to get a decent base going again - Trying to Ride everyday…
These pics were taken on 3/1/08 - It’s called training for DH on the GRB - doing GRR’s… (GayRoadBike, GayRoadRide - not intended to offend roadies out there.) It’s kinda fun sometimes to ride I bike that I can easily lift over my head ;) Just been building with each ride, changing the distance, duration or intensity of each ride… next is to get back on the dirt and start jumping the bike - see how rusty I am!

GRB for sure! A necessary evil if you want to have any kind of endurance but there is absolutely no way in hell to look like a bad ass on a road bike.

Michael,
Yes, it’s time to dust off your bikes, and start training for the 2008 season. As you well know, one has to pay you dues, if you want to see results. Keep up the good training schedule, and get on top of the podium again, for the 2008 season.

Looking as graceful as a stalking cat. Good luck for the season. Alwasy tough to get onto the bike in the cold but then again in the end it’s really worth it.
