I'm Back TxRaidr

[Schroeder]

I did some awesome miles this morning. I arrived late and missed the crowd that I was suppossed to ride with by at least 15 minutes so I did major TT pursuit. After a flat and cutting about 3 miles off, I arrived back at the cars about 5 or 10 minutes behind them. I am ready to train. The cold and the rollers around Magnolia out on 149 were great.

I used my new Rubino Pro Kevlar tires for the first time too. Took some kind of massive road debris in the front. Used an empty GU pack to isolate between new tube and tire split but only had enough air for about 60psi at best. The last 5 miles was off the back of the saddle to reduce weight on that tire. I think that I still like the tire but we'll see after the next ride.

Let's plan for a ride this week. Fast and 85% max???? You and I have prep work to do....

Right on!

You had a flat with the Rubino Pros? You're kidding me? Those are some bomb tires! I thought you were riding the Michelin's still, what happened to them? I know, I've been on the trainer and am still lifting weights (I NEED MORE POWER!) I might be out of town the weekend of the 14th because my sister is graduating. I concur, we've got a lot of work to do. Are you going to race this year again?:confused:

Mich are in the garage. Got tired of the big chunks of tire missing after rides and the flats. Go figure. I pulled some weird looking stuff out of the gash in the tire. I am going to do some kind of racing. I have made good gains in the gym
