Conconi Testing

Posted in General ramblings, Training on April 23, 2010 | 2 Comments »

I’ve got lots of stats on my blog, and one of the posts with the most number of hits is my page on the Modified Conconi Test that I did. Interestingly, there’s still little good information on this, and I still think Ross’s Maximum Performance for Cyclists is still the best book out there for [...]

On the Road Again

Posted in Training on March 10, 2010 | 2 Comments »

There’s still snow on the ground, but the roads are dry. If you have the right clothing on, you can roll on the road instead of your trainer. It was a great day on Saturday with the temps getting close to 50, so I was ready to go outside! I got in a nice ride [...]

Gym Time

Posted in Training, tagged , , , , on December 2, 2007 | 6 Comments »

Winter is quickly approaching, which means it’s time to get back to the gym for some weight lifting. Defined Fitness offers FooMTB members a discount, so I go there. It’s a convenient location, and they have all the equipment I want to use. Otherwise, it’s pretty nasty. It smells funny, has a suspect clientele, and [...]

Summer Time

Posted in Riding, Training on August 6, 2007 | 3 Comments »

Things have been busy lately with both work and riding. Summer seems like it should be slow and lazy, but in reality, it’s all about getting as much done as you possibly can in 3 months. The “slow and lazy” really doesn’t come until Fall. Matt and I had our 15th anniversary this past week! [...]

Well, the first challenge up to the Blue Sandia Tram Tower has been knocked off my list. It’s the first steep, sandy face you have to climb. I’ve never been able to make it, but today?? Me, the Moots and my Kenda Karmas made it up. In fact, we were doing so well, we decided [...]

Sandia Crest Ride

Posted in Riding, Training on May 27, 2007 | 2 Comments »

I decided to ride road this morning from the house to Sandia Crest and then back home again. My ending destination is “visible” from our house, but the ride is very indirect. I headed south on Tramway toward Cedar Crest. Look how close the start and end points are, then you get the picture.   [...]

Blue Tram Tower

I have a new nemesis, and it isn’t even a person…it’s a big blue tram tower that keeps mocking me as I try to climb up to its location on my bike. Heading up from the house to the water tower by the Tram used to be my challenge, but I just finished climbing that [...]

2 Weeks Down…

Posted in Training on January 27, 2007 | Leave a Comment »

Wow, am I boring my readers yet? No cool pics, nothing but boring graphs…and all I do is talk about how I’m punishing my body. Doesn’t sound like much to read. Today was a weight day, and I had a little more time than usual to kill, so I tried out some new machines. I [...]
