The only thing to fear is fear itself...and falling off the 2 foot wide bridge on the Mountain bike trail Again...


So after last year when I took this bike
Off this Bridge I've been a little stand offish at some mountain biking things... I guess its like riding a bike you dont forget how you just hesitate and then you don't make it over stuff.  So tonight I did several laps on hillside (I made myself ride everything)  then hit Rollercoaster for a lap.  I just need a little confidence to not slow down and realize that I can do it.  So 25 days Left to DK200.  Diet is going pretty good I'm at 192 and seem to be stabilized, however if I'm going to loose the last 10lbs extra (not sure if its even possible)  I need drastic measures.  What is Drastic?  Well a week so far of vegan diet has helped alot so I'll stick to that till dk, but unfortunately what occured to me on hillside tonight is the beer has to go for the month too.  I really like to drink beer, but I'd rather drink it in June and talk about how I finished something this year than drink it now and talk about how I'm not going to finish.....See ya on the trails A LOT since I'm not drinking I'll be riding!

Rock'n the pavement



After a very fast prc ride wednesday and a 13 hour work day friday I took to the trail this morning instead of the planned gravel metric.  40 miles in 2:40 (medium pace)  looking to do it again tomorrow.

Stopped to take a picture of a big turtle next to the great western trail.

A NEW HOPE

No not like the Obama campaign, well I am going to spend lots of money, but it will be on bikes.  No the hope of which I speak is the hope of once again doing DAILY blog posts again.  I have lots of excuses but that is no reason to let down the 4 people that actually read what I post.  So get ready.

Back on


So 4 days ago i did the 2nd craziest race I've ever done.  Something 2 years ago in Wisconsin comes to mind....  however I missed finishing Transiowa this year and said "never again" after 4 days i got on my bike this morning.  It was great started to sprint a little then thought my race is over why am I doing this?  Then i realized its started and its too late I was thinking what do i do different next time.... crap I might do this again.  Of course.  Kanza then training for next year!
