Weekend Plans

Not much new going on. I rode last tuesday and did some intervals we call bridge sprints. Because the only hills in this area are manmade, either landfills or bridges over the interstate, we are limited in our training options. I chose a bridge very close to my work, put the bike in the biggest gear, and sprinted up. At the base of the bridge on the other side I immediately turn around and and sprint back up. That counts as one. I did this 10 times. Total ride time, 45 min. Total mileage 10 miles. My legs were cooked!

I probably won't ride today due to family obligations, but I plan to do a long session on the mountain bike on sunday. We race at Alva, our home trail, in a few weeks. Due to rain, it has been unrideable until recently and I haven't been there for a long time before that. I want to put in a lot of practice there so I do well on my home course. The fields will be huge for that race. There are a ton of people who don't race the series that plan on doing that one race just because it is local. Hopefully they are only "pack fill".
