Training Log Archive: 'Bent

Back home, but the snow's shot so it's the trainer again.

I rode up the Zoncolan with the Giro- hard tempo ride with some sprints while watching the later stages.

Wow, that's one steep climb- worse than anything on the Tour- 15% in sections.

Hey, Santa was pretty good to this nice Jewish Boy.
I got a DVD of cycling up Mt. Lemmon, which we just visited, as well as a Sufferfest Spinervals, and an IOU for the 08 Giro DVDs. Good thing, as the trainer will be getting use with the rain predicted.

Also very cool Salomon wear that's odour-resistant (Silver antibacterial) Is there a message there?

Workout on Bill C's home gym- just like my old machine that Bash dissed.

Bash and I got out for a few laps of the golf course, crunching through the crust. Hard work!

Fantastic conditions out there. Deep trailbreaking in the fields, but on the Bruce trail the tracks are great. Bulletdog's looking forward to a couple of days off- she was in over her back in spots.

Hard slog breaking trail to work. At times it was hip deep! Bulletdog's a little tired out from yesterday.

Note- I think I have my frozen hands solved- I tried cycling pogies on my ski poles, and they add a lot of warmth without cutting off circulation.

An easy first lap with the dogs, then Bash and I went out to break some trail in deep snow. Too windy to ski all over the place, so we picked less forested bits. Also some intervals around a loop in the old Palgrave parking lot.

I love winter!
