Borderline cheating.

I do rather feel as if BSNYC has been beating me to what few punches I have in me in that his latest bloggular unit, “Sitting In and Bowing Out: The Art of Pass/Fail Racing” covers several topics that came into play this weekend at Madera.


Anyway, I’ve lately been feeling that perhaps when it comes to road racing, I’ll end up as a one-hit wonder; however, when I started to think about it, I realized that it’s not that I’m slow, it’s just that I’m racing against borderline cheaters: powermeters, training plans, coaches, tapering, structured workouts, intervals.

They’re riding their bike with German regularity and precision and it’s borderline cheating in my book.




Maybe it’s time for a new book.

You were right, its the McEwan climb that the Cal team sends us up for the race on Saturday. At least I think that's what you said. Slaughter the Otter for me, if you go . . . :)
