2010 Racing Tunes

So, I've been loading up the iPod lately with what will most likely be my favorite racing tunes through 2010. I used to not like racing with an iPod at all, but after trying it I'm hooked.
I keep the volume low enough to still be able to hear my tires on the trail as well as carry on a conversation with a nearby rider.

But anyway, here's some of the bands that will be getting me through the upcoming long races in 2010:

For your listening pleasure:









So, now you'll know if I see you out there I'm not ignoring you I'm just rockin!

Had to get out!

Though the skies looked gloomy and 32 degrees felt more like 20 with the wind chill I had to get off the training and get some miles on the bike outside.

Karen, Keeven, Stitz, and myself went out to Lost Valley to get some miles in on the gravel and katy. We didn't even think about trying the trails, they've got to be a mess! Hopefully, noone is even trying the trails with these thawing temps beign thrown down.

We got in a good ride. Did the Hamburg, some of the gravel double-track through LV, and some Katy before hitting Busch Wildlife. The sun actually broke through around 10:30 and things started to really get soft so we called it and headed back to the cars before 11. It was a great way to get in 3 hours of riding on an ugly Sunday morning!
