It’s late in the racing season and some of you have been consistently working at these Thursday rides since mid-January. Congratulations!

Let’s make this last structured Thursday night session of the year a memorable one.

Plans: warm-up; 2 form sprints… and then: flexible to your needs.

Send me your ideas and we will see if we can fit it in. Did you have a favorite drill that you would like to repeat? How about a skill we haven’t covered? Not all Thursday efforts need to be at 100%. Maybe its time for some slow speed skills like cornering 4 abreast or driving up the gutter or fighting for a good wheel?

One thing we know from this series is that the more of you we have out there the more that you push yourself!

See you tomorrow night. Larry

Last Saturday was the San Ardo Road Race. San Ardo is a little farming town off of Hwy 101. Just a little further south than bumf#%$k Egypt. Tony Dzoan met me at my house around 4:45am and we headed out after loading up. Stopped in King City for coffee, along with about 100 other racers [...]

M45+ 1/2/3
Full field
1 lap 48 mi
This was a sprinter’s race so my only hope was to join a break but this did not happen. We had three crashes. The first was in a right turn and I don’t think anyone was too hurt. There was a small break but they made a wrong turn ending [...]

Hello team – a critical component to sprinting (and cycling fitness in general) is to understand your weaknesses and to play to your strengths. I’m a big fan of field testing, especially for those that do not train with power so here’s the plan for tonight:
- thorough group paceline warm-up until 6:45pm, which is [...]

Took 1st at the Timpani Elite Cat 5 race Sunday morning. Short race, only 35 min long and flat and not too fast, the average was about 23.7 per Polar cycle computer. I stayed in the front for most of the race keeping an eye on the San Jose Race Team that was well represented. [...]
