So here it is my new ride the Scott CR1 and I gotta tell ya ....I love it, it is a very smooth riding bike and stiff on the climbs which means it does not feel like you are riding a piece of 1" PVC pipe.Well training continues as does racing..I raced in the Rockhill Omnium this past weekend . It was a 45 mile road race the route was nice.... but the road was terrible pot holes and gravel everywhere. I managed to bridge 1minute 20second gap on the peloton in a 3 man breakaway that I felt very comfortable with ...I really thought we could widen the gap and bring it home but all of a sudden POW!! I flatted leaving me standing on the side of the road having words with my tire as the break moved on and the peloton caught up, but that's racing and it's time to get back to training for the next one. So yesterday my teammates Matt, Ronnie Dean and myself decided to join one of the group rides a 31 miler through the Catawba County country side, around 70 degree's or so, everything was going good at first were staying together 24/25 avg then the hills came and the group broke up and I blew up did not take in enough water... the heat had zapped me my left calve and quad started to cramp...needless to say probably the worst ride I have had this season. But anyway the team is headed to Spartanburg this Sunday for a 50 mile road race. I hope my performance is pays off this time. Later!!

what's a peloton? is that one of those nazi elitist cyclists terms? Us tri geeks wouldn't know. we're not allowed to draft. Triathletes are not allowed any advantages.
