Rest day
Taking a rest day today. I am planning a LT test tomorrow to see where I am before I begin my next month of training. Its important to understand your LTHR so you can train in the correct zones. Not knowing your correct LTHR will cause you to over or under train. Before you start […]
35 and no wind.
I did a nice ride to Nederland and back today. I was ready to do some intervals on the trainer today, but the weather is going to be changing tonight, so I thought I should take advantage of the weather. There was virtually no wind and a little sun. Every hill between home and Ned […]

This company has some great services which I’m taking full advantage of. One of the services is resume development and editing. I haven’t had to send my resume out in 12 years, so […]
3500 ft ascent
I had an appointment in Denver today, so I planned a mtb ride for afterwards. It was still windy up in the high foothills and since the lower elevations don’t have as much snow as we do up here, I thought I could take advantage of some dirt. I was going to ride Green Mountain, […]
