Mixen' it up...DAVE-DAVE-DAVE-LYNDA-LYNDA-LYNDA

The first portion of that title describes training rides lately, the second portion is an attempt to up my number of viewers to this blog...hope it works! Anyway, sitting at home watching the snow come down-that's right SNOW! Had to buck up and hop on the trainer today for a couple of hours. To help pass the time I logged on to www.mediazone.com and clicked on uci bmx-it's actually the 05' mountain bike world championships in it's entirety-Awesome footage-Just finished up my second week of base and now in the first two days of week 3. On monday I knocked out one of the best road rides in the area this time of the year-left Aztec and headed out to Navajo Dam, then over to Ignacio-->to Bondad--->to ruins road--->and back to A-town. Stats were 100.3 miles and 5hrs 24min. A long ride solo, thankfully I had me, myself, and ipod...It was also a gorgeous day with hardly any wind, I will post some pics later. That finished a 19 hr week of mostly HR sub 140...a couple of efforts when I just can't stand the monotony of spinning and focusing on low HR, but all in all keeping it pretty mellow. This week I'm going for 20+ hrs. then I'll take a rest week. I know this isn't some peoples idea of early season training, or training at all, but for me it helps burn that winter layer, build some endurance,get focused on the long season that lies ahead, and harden the calices...Plenty of time for hard efforts between now and the end of March. Just a side note: I've recieved some positive feedback on this site, but some say they would like to see more blogs from a bigger variety of folks...so lets see it! Peace out-BDub
