Sept. a month to rest, build a base, and return to gym for strength training. My goal is to obtain the Triple Crown once again for 09. The added challenge would be a difficult double: one with over 12,000 feet of climbing.
This weekend (09/06-07/2008): power, standing intervals; basic spin with high cadence.

Our First Tandem Experience, Sept. 1, 2008
Today, Ricky Bobby and I joined our friends Carolyn/Collin, Eva and Michael and their friends. We did 15 miles of flats and then, climbed an additional 8 miles on Fairmont Hill and descending. We had a good time. All went well; I just to need feel comfortable in descending. We are going to attempt the tandem on the Solvang route with CCC friends in Oct.
Cheers.
Cheers.

For AUG. 2008
This month, I have been a weekend warrior. I hosted the training series rides for Bike Against the Odds for the Lunachix team.
Our event was Aug. 23rd. I manned the reststop with my first coach, Denise Primrose. I met Jim Collier, the originator of the event. Also, exciting to meet Tyler who is a Lunachix Pro.

DEATHRIDE: July 12, 2008
Rick and I spent the week in the Sierras for altitude acclimation and preparation for the infamous Tour of the Ca. Alps.
Rick successfully completed 5 passes; I did 4.5 passes. I did make the cut-off time! Please enjoy the slideshow. I was blessed with so many TNT, non-TNT friends as well as strangers while on the bike. Ride time was 14 hrs. Highlights: cycling in various weather patterns: night time, cool weather, hot/sunny, rain, thunder/lightening and hail on the descent of front side of Ebbits and enroute to Carson Pass. Despite the weather, made the cut off times.
Thank you to all my supporters for this adventure in my cycling storybook.
My new nickname from my TNT peers and coaches: Steadfast Susie
