January is Gone.


Well January is over and we are closing in on the opportunity to race, although you can't tell right now since it is 19 degrees outside.

T-Rent was the man for the month, reconnecting with his swerve and logging 28 hours for the month, riding 24 days and 454 miles. On top of that, he improved in his fitness test from two years ago by over 30 watts. Pretty stellar when you add 30 watts and remove 30 pounds. My guess is that he will be able to faaasssst this year.

Stay tuned for pics from the fitness testing. I need to get them from Mario, but there are some fabulous photos of T-Rent, primarily in fetal position thumb sucking after his test.

I am the slacker of our January crew, only managing 22 hours for the month, 379 miles and 13 days of riding. For those of you doing the calculation, I am riding faster than Trent (which is normal). I also did the fitness test and posted very similar numbers to two years ago, except for my burst power which was much higher and resulted in the destruction of Rich's CompuPuke.

Not sure what Rich did, but he gets a pass with the birth of his second son.

After testing as high as he did, T-Rent is going to be watched by the Dick Pounder, and will probably be banned from the Tour this year, because that much improvement can only be related to doping or dropping a wife. He has the certificate for wife dropping, so he could be in London starting the TT behind David Millar. Dopers Unite! Stay tuned on how the saga unfolds.

January is a sucky month. I only managed 25.5 hrs. Less than half of December's hours. Get ready to make up for it in February!

Watching Dave break the Compupuke was something to behold. I suppose one may have doubted it was possible, but I was there to catch a whif of the burning smell wafting from it.

It was also quite funny watching the soon to be great Chase Hofer stare at Richie and I with disbelief when we told him to really get a hold onto the base of the trainer before Dave let loose his torrent of power. He quickly became a believer and a follower of the Enmark cult, much like the Lion King's tifosi.

Yes, I did show improvement over two years ago. But then again, I had fewer miles and much junk in the trunk then, so I would hope I would do better this time around. It's amazing what wife dropping does for one's training schedule.
