We had a collective team BONK this weekend. Holy poop we sucked. I am not sure what is wrong with us, and maybe I am jsut over thinking it, but it has been weeks since we (especially me) have had a good race. Time to get back to basics, and start attacking like mad.
It's now mid-June and normally I would be getting pretty pumped for the TdF, but I am not feeling it this year. Two of the top 3 from last year aren't going to be there, which means whoever wins this year will not have to race against the best stage racing team in the world, Astana. Fair or not, it surely casts an ominous shadow over this years, trek around France (no bike pun intended).
Other cool news, the SoCal kids keep racing well in the domestic front. Young Eric Barlevev, now of Time Pro Team, got his sprint up and going in Harlem yesterday to out-kick Rahsaan and Freddy (amoung others) for the win, only to crash after the line in dramatic fashion. There was a "bike messenger" race as well, so teh question is, did the NYC Bike Snob show up and race or just show up to make fun of the racers? Either way, I am sure it will make for interesting reading on his blog.
Summer is almost here (officially only a few days away), therefore it is time to embrace the higher temps at races and be ready to suffer just that little bit extra.
