Down to Pannikin for 2nd bk.

Cool ridding with Bob down and Tom back. Awesome dads!! Hustle all the way back into the gnarliest headwind I have had coming from Oside to Laguna...uh. Had a cross tail going up the 133. I have probably ridden that 1,000 times on TT, groups, etc but let it go at 105 miles in for some new PR's. Fun! Starting too feel really good on the bike.

looks like everyone bailed on the night ride tonight. bummer.

C • race 3

Boys to bed early and a killer pink sunset so hot in a little shaker around the hood. Still humid and seating buckets.

Cloudy and humid morning on the trails from Uhaul with Josh and Tommy. Felt so good running. Always fun with those guys and enjoying the routes Josh has us on. Legs feeling better.

up most of the night from my legs screaming at me... Worried about breaking this morning and I knew Jerry was coming early. First time for us at TMWC and it was all the intensity I was dreaming about. HA!

Legs felt better than I expected w/ almost no warmup and too busy chasing for any other thoughts. Didnt jump on the second surge going up the path that turned out to be a good thing. Raised effort on "the wall" and was a great morning rolling with the team. I need some rest now.

More than half of the miles from 2017 are from July and the month is not over... Having fun. I have never had intensity on the bike w/ these group rides. My feet hurt. Either way, I have a good baseline across a few climbs. Looking forward to revisiting them again in Sept.

C • he's back! 3

First time using pull buoy. Felt nice to float.

Nice cloudy morning and headed out for an easy ride to A's for lunch and hit RnR lunch on the way back.

Got some waves with Ryan last night before the BBQ. Helped legs but still destroyed. Late morning and missed Evan and the crew but my mind and ass could not imaging another dozen long climbs in the heat. Worked out well for a leg shaker in the heat

Slow warm up and ran up to meet J and Mo for an out and back in Aliso. Felt good to run. Felt awesome in the heat even if melting. Sweat flying off my elbows with every step kind of humid heat. Picked it up for a mile heading back woth J and felt good.

Warm up and walking back to the car

Aliso after pool time and a good meal. Glad I dropped into some rockers. MTB is FUN! Legs are so sore they may never be the same but I guess that's the point. Absorbing the intensity well and enjoying the volume. If I do t break I should be fit soon enough.

Great ride and route with the team.
GMR / East Grade / Crystal Lake / EG / Village.

A little scared rolling out with CHill, Todd Brow, Nate, Hartono and Jerry bit I got over it after they dropped me in the first 10min up GMR. My legs were pretty dead. Now destroyed but born again on the ride! Got to the front up CLake and just started cranking...Chris and me to the top and I backed off a few times rolling what felt like easy compared to the PR with Jerry last week. Surprised to find I was 3min faster. Felt ooowesome back to and up East Grade. Ridding bike without swimming before or holding back from smashed legs on the run is FUN!! Got hot so I rolled the rest of the ridge to the village solo. Solid climbing.

If Evan showed up this morning I would have given him a big hug. He dialed in my bike with new chain, bearings, fixed my brakes rubbing on my frame and wheel, a dozen bolts shaking....etc. feels like a new bike!! After three rear flats I'm changing my tire today too. Got new shoes, kit, cleats, saddle. Ahead of the curve this time and probably picked up 50 watts. Ready to rip!

Same 605 coffee crew as last week but started at home for a warm up LOLing all the way there about the bike :) spend 2x the time in the front compared to last week and it hurt. Then headed up Newport Coast and rolled canyon/dump/san Clemente. Felt so good entire time and plenty of ride left heading home.
