Masters National Championships

I thought some of you might be interested in hearing that I'm making my final preparations for the 2013 US National Cycling Championships in Bend, Oregon. September 5th will be the day of the 110K (65 miles) road race around Mt. Bachelor. Although I was the 2009 US Masters National Champion it's a new year with different riders and a different course. The course starts with a fast descent down the mountain for approximately 15 miles then it rolls and winds its way back up the mountain, only to finish with a difficult 5 mile climb. 

The plan for the next few weeks is to double up on some training rides doing morning and evening workouts, and compete in 4 tuneup races. I'll also focus on staying well-getting a bit of extra sleep, watch my diet (that means cut the sugar out!), and get lots of chiropractic adjustments! 

Check out this page for updates as we get closer to the race. I'll be sharing some thoughts on it.
