Cant...feel....anything!

Today was warm as hell....until I took my first pedal stroke outside. About 15 minutes into the ride I accepted the fact that I was just going to have to suck it up and freeze my balls off. And after an hour and a half, my balls were definitely frozen. I couldnt feel my fingers, face, toes or the soles of my feet. Granted I was still able to get a good training ride in. I felt fairly strong on the climbs. 8 days til Rutgers.

The first post

Today was a training day for the roadies and I must say it was pretty interesting. Me and chris rode to wheelworks to meet with coach young with the other captains. Interesting stuff but I was so bored sitting there being that I wanted to just ride. So after that I was told that mens A and B would ride together for a little before TT's and then C and D would do the same. Well eventually we just ended up as one big clusterfuck that eventually split into two groups. We got in a solid 4+ hour day in and I got to take part in my first pace line. It was fairly difficult and I eventually got dropped but I was pretty happy that I held on for as long as I did. We also hit a road that was complete ice, which was interesting to say the least. Road bikes and ice/snow/slush dont mix. Who knows whats up tomorrow.
