February is OVER !!!

So like I said I just want to use this blog to share races, stories and what it take to be prepared at the amateur level for the Xterra tri's. This season I started my training later than I would have like to but at last my first month is behind me. Just thought I'd share what my dry erase board looked like for February. . . I also got some cool new gear to train with that I will soon be posting on here my favorite of which is the Garmin 305 Forrunner . . . Till next time Just Ryde !!!

Cathing you up on Dan

Me and Dano !!!

So like I said it has been awhile since I have been on this blog but have all the intentions of using it a bunch over the next 8-12 months. For those of you who have read about Dan this is just a follow up with some cool pictures. It just so happened that where he was ending his trip was only hours from where I ended up moving (insert picture)

So of course as soon as I got into town I called him and we did an awesome little weekend. We rode Mckenzie river, Sisters and Bend. My favorite trail out of the entire weekend was easily lower whoops in Bend . . . So much fun. Dan was all healed up and we had a great time riding together. Its crazy that I met a guy in FL over a year ago, I decide to move clear across the country and then somehow meet back up with him, pretty awesome. So here are some pictures of the awesome weekend I had when I first got to Oregon over 8 months ago now . . . Till next time Just Ryde !!!

Xterra Season is fast approaching !!!

Hey everyone so I took a small hiatus during which I moved straight across the country just so I could have better mountain biking trails . . . And it worked I'm in love with Southern Oregon. Anyways The XTERRA Tri Season is about to begin and I couldn't be any happier. This year I decided to hire a trainer and so far its paying off big time (thanx Darcy!!!) She managed to get me out on a road bike which I was against (stupidly) for awhile but have since fallen in love!!! I also decided to purchase a more race oriented bike which I am stoked about should have it in a few weeks, its a carbon Grammo 29er and boy it wants to go fast!!!

So just wanted to get back on here hopefully have some followers this season. My goal is to qualify for worlds in Hawaii. I am doing at least 8 races this year and the schedule looks like this . . .
