Last night I set a new milestone in my mid life racing career come back. This also marks the point at which I have recovered from my stint at the time trial circus where I specialized in head stands and top tube pummel horse. My ankle still looks like a big spud and I still take naps but my form and power on the bike has returned (unless grilling braughts at lunch are a new form of secret performance).
Now for the chest beating! I climbed University Mountain in 27:17.5 at an average of 169 BPM. Keep in mind I am ten steps from a retirement home at 42 years of glorious age. In my stud days I could say that 179 was my anaerobic threshold. The climb is 1,500 vertical feet in 3.69 miles, a recepie for putting on the hurt. Here is the map ==> http://tinyurl.com/6pqt57
Now I am leaving town! I must go underground before the US Government finds out about my special powers. I will be hiding out at Painted Rocks Lake, camping, and riding epic single track in the Bitterroot. I am planning on taking a couple dudes and riding Blue Joint, Porcupine Ridge, and other trails near the Lost Trail area.
Have a great weekend and keep the tread in the dirt!
