VeloSapiens MTBRacing

going the distance

March 1999


Well, it's mountain bike racing season. Unfortunately, I'm a fat, out-of-shape cow. I raced at cool and got utterly rocked. I blame it on moving away from my training buddies. It's really hard to do any kind of speed work early in the season. As a result, I have endurance for days, but I couldn't outsprint my grandma.
 
 
 
Epic Ride Only a road ride, but at least it was pouring rain, so I have a little bit of an excuse.
Race News Not much here, just a quick blurb about Cool, where I sucked, plus the 1999 NCNCA off-road racing schedule.
