Welcome to the PAIN TRAIN!

Another great Sunday training ride and this time the whole team was roll'n strong. The first time in awhile. Started with a little caffeine top off at the Moose and then swung by the courthouse to pic up Steve. It was sunny and mid 50's @ the start, damn nice day to be on the bike. So we hit the road, accross the Westover Bridge making our way to Mt. Morris via Rt. 100. Next we went past Masson Dixion Park to Rt.7 Had a couple of hairy moments on 7, I just remember a water bottle skidding by my tire while a line of cars was going past. Someone said something about rubbing tires. I don't know about that, I just know I was not the cause nor the effect, just along for the ride. After 7 @ Blacksville, we turned towards Waynesburg on a very nice smooth road. I'm thinking it was 218........Time out Heroes is on.......Sweat!............Damn, the president is and he's on every channel..............Wow, that was a good one.............From Waynesburg we made our way back down to Kirby were we really had things rolling. I saw 30mph a couple of times on the flats. From Kirby we went on to Big Shannon, Mt. Morris and back to town via Rt. 100. Got home with almost 5hrs. and 85 miles, not a bad day.

I would also like to welcome Coach to the team blog. You've already been graced with his first post. Pay attention kids, you might learn something. He is a master of sports physiology you know, well almost.

So this week starts some interval work on the training plan. Time to get that pain box off the shelf and tare into it. Welcome to the Pain Train.

I did a lil hike around Bakers Ridge today and if you are interested the conditions are looking somewhat better than this past weekend. A lot of wet spots with some dryer tacky stuff thrown in. Another day or two of this weather it could be prime. But it doesn't look like that will happen. Clicked of a few photos for your enjoyment.

Later,
