Base

While getting ready to ride this beauty well into plaid speed at Wausau24.  I've been training probably the best I've ever done.  I did come down with something this week but not before I got at least 10 hours in, but it's too early to risk something worse by riding through it much like I did last year so I took the previous 4 days off to focus on getting healthy again.   This just about happens every year since I began to run track.  I get allergies which leads to a cough, then leaving me with a massive cold.  I got my salsa in working order and minus my rotor crank I'll be ready to rock.

I am excited to race a 24 solo again this year.  I am also glad to be racing it at a lower price....at least 200 dollars less.  I hope they get rid of that stupid finish loop on the way into the tent this year, boy was that terrible.  I don't really like the idea of a shorter lap.  While I would love to bring in more riders that were affraid to tackle a 15 mile lap,  A short lap would make things clog up and would be kinda difficult to keep the traditional favorites i.e. flower trail and Ho Chi Minh both in the course while still crossing red bud rd.  I say go back to how it was during the 2007 race.  I want to say it was around 13 miles and afterall it is an endurance event.

Trail project in Bradley Park is taking shape.  Really the focus is on design right now and to get a feeling for how many markers, maps, and other signage to make it a course we can all follow.  My goal is to have a race in the park using the old and break in some of the new stuff in spring of 2011.

Racing schedules will be cut down to smaller amount for 2011 as well with baby Lund entering the picture sometime in mid to late November of this year.  I being a future daddy and all will be sure to educate the baby by watching Klunkerz, Kranked Revolve, 24 Solo, Off Road to Athlens, Chasing Legends and Highlights of the Tour De France.  We are excited for the new adventure.

This weekend I will be riding the salsa on my new trails up north as a early season test session for the bike, Epic Cam, and the trails already in place at the park.

Happy Easter and enjoy the great weather.
