Season end getting close

Well a bunch of racing these last few weeks...but now the end is in sight.
A few weeks ago, people were tired of racing, But now once the reality hits, that what is ahead is trainer ides and rain...maybe a few more races would be nice.
So in a effort to squeeze some more out of the season I even did a up hill TT on Saturday....Now I don't consider myself very good at these, or liking them...so why.
I've done this one the last 4 years..and it's always nice to have benchmark to look at, and hopefully it gets better.
On Sunday I got 2 crits in, with the ride there and back it was over 105miles...now that is getting your monies worth.... threre is one more crit this weekend, and then a stage race in two weeks...that is it until march.... unless I do cross.........hmm,,,maybe I should.

Thursday night

So it's Thursday night again...time for the local crit...a 70mile excursion during the working day..
21miles to get there, usually in a mad ruch (running late after work)..racing hard for an hour and then limping home with darkness setting.
It's one of the weeks highlights I guess, one day when it;s easy to get a long ride in...
It's just a bit too close and hard before the weekends races...but it's hard to resist...even if you swear by you r mothers grave not to attack or chase anything down too early..(never works),,,the race course is just hard enough that there is nowhere to hide...oh well...
this is why I train I guess........time to go...or I'll have to TT down there again.

August racing

Well it's summer and hot, crit season....
Last night it was 93'F when I left for my ride down to the weeknight crit....
It went ok I guess, got some points in through out the race, but got swalloed right at the end..
This weekend all I have is a crit, seams like it's been a while since I nice good long road race...
I'm stating to get the miles back up, after beeing away for work a few weeks, I'm trying to rebuild my base for the late season...and maybe a few cross races if I feel like it.
