New Ride, New Team, a New Race…
Posted January 10, 2011 – 1:11 pm in: CyclingAfter years of taking time off the bike, I am going to try my luck at cycling again and enter in a couple of Master’s races next year. I will be riding for Team Green Vibrance.
Winning NY State Men's 88 mile road race at 18
The bikes that we will be riding are the Trek Madone 6.5. To put it mildly, I have never ridden a bike quite like this before. The technology has come a very long way over the years and it will be a lot of fun taking this new speed machine around corners.
It will be a blast getting in super shape again, and reach a level of fitness that I have not had in a very long time. I plan on sharing with you some of my training logs and race reports from the upcoming 2011 season.
The plan is to increase the aerobic capacity over the next 12 weeks by performing daily long, slow distance on the bike, or running. When my body fat gets around 9 or 10 percent (its about 13 to 15 % now) , I will start incorporating some motor pacing and sprints.
I have already started my diet and have cut back on the evening vino and beer intake, and have cut down on the fatty meats. Super green foods and Omega Supplements are high on the diet list today!
Time to get on the rig!
