dare i say i been finding a bit of form lately.  i managed to win the last few races I’ve done, and not just the easy way.  i really haven’t felt like i was smashing it… but then like always, form just seems to sneaks up on you.  turning the pedals gets easier and riding hard isn’t sooo hard.   some fast racer guy said “good motivation comes from having good legs”,  i believe it.  or certainly lack of motivation comes from crappy legs…. any way i feeling good and therefore motivated, so what to do with said drive??? how about ride a 160 miles in training? in a fairness it wasn’t my idea and i wasn’t alone either.

Every year Tom Schuler holds the Bone ride.  its a training ride from his house in milwaukee to madison and back.  totaling just under 160 miles.  and i would guess there were around 200 people.  it started back in ‘87, the year tom won philly, he hadn’t done any long rides leading into philly and needed some distance.  so he rode to madison and back with a few friends and teammate and come philly ended up in the early break, won the KoM and the race.  after that it became tradition. the ride is not exactly like philly… a bit slower (2 hours-ish)  but it still was a beautiful day with a strong tailwind blowing us a home. heres to hoping theres some magic in tradition….
