2010, Plans?

It's now getting to June. The weather is hot and I'm actually getting out on the bike now. In seasons past I have had a hard peak in the end of June and early July and dragged myself through the fall. I like being fast in May, but not as much as I love being fast in Sept-Oct.

Intentionally or not, this year I have stayed off the bike and am coming into June super fresh. Still hitting the same numbers on the Powertap as last Fall, but now I'm lighter and way more motivated to hit a hard peak in September. The goals are the same, to get fast and be a player in the Bs, or 3s race. Seems like every year we have more and more guys focusing on cross, so I am going to step it up this season! I might say that every year... but I am headed that way.

For the local races we are doing a Thursday night practice race still, but there will be one of them. ViroquaCross will continue with a few weekend events and Marty is going to run one down in PDC as well. So the series is still on, but more informal. Does this mean less prizes? Yes during the weekend, no during the week. The Weekend prizes are going to be nuts! Fancy stuff...

So if you would like to come out and get some this fall, please do. It's always fun to have folks from out of town come up and experience how great Viroqua is!

Where is there more info on your weekly cross training rides? like location, times, etc. Also, when do you guess the PDC cross race will be?

hey, just moved to La Crosse from Kansas City. I'm a huge cross racer and need to figure out the details of when you guys are riding. What days, what times, where?

Hey guys, or Eric if you posted buy yourself... Looks like we are going to do Thursday nights, little less formal this year as I have less time. Still will be fun, prizes etc... Starting in Sept! That means 3 races before Madison. Should be super fun.

I'll post a few times before then with the final details.

We'll do a few races on the weekend when there are holes in the Schedule.

I have talked to Marty about the PDC cross, that one is on him.

Thank for checking in guys!
