11/14 Back in the Saddle

Another kick butt day in Wichita Kansas. I just got back from the armpit of the world Balad Iraq, and Kansas doesn’t seem so bad.... now. Ive been back at work for a whole week and i got out of work early to go to a veterans appreciation thing for my youngest (13) daughter Emily’s School. She plays the french horn for the local hs band (usually plays the trumpet) and she did great. My oldest daughter (15) Jen is a driving machine and has been helping drag emily back and forth to school...
I've gotten back on the bike after 45+ days off (they wouldn't let me ship it to the suck) and i have a shit ton of work to do before next seasons racing starts up. Cycling has a lot to do with the power/weight ratio and my fat butt isn't going to do well on the climbs at the moment. I got home and figured out i gained 15lbs from the lack of 2-3hour rides and the same amount of chewing. So now im kick'n the calories back to 1500ish a day and riding 2+ hours a day to get my butt back on the right path. My sadistic buddy Erik Schick has bull dogged me into doing some 15+min intervals and i have to say they suck on a trainer. I got on the bike around 6am and did 2x10min Int's and 2x5min Int's....
Saturday and Sunday im promo'ng the Dirt Big Ring Race series. Its 4-tuff ass courses on local dirt roads and should make for some good racing.
