After the disappointment of racing poorly at Iceman I took a
week off biking but I started up training again soon after. I realized that I always have problems
with my asthma every fall but luckily it isn’t a deterrent to being able to go
for normal rides or lift weights.
So I’ve started up with my
winter base training which basically follows a pretty simple plan. I lift weights twice a week and then go
for long rides on the other days when I have time. Luckily the weather has been pretty ok the last few weeks
and I have been able to get some good rides in.
IU doesn’t have many group rides but I did manage to get out
on a ride with the club president Paul a few weeks ago. I wanted to do dirt roads in the
Hoosier National Forest south of Bloomington but Paul was on his TT bike. Lucky for me he said he was ok as long
as we avoided roads with lots of loose gravel. We ended up having a really epic ride and discovering some
awesome roads to ride. We also
crossed a closed down bridge that was built in 1893! We finished up our ride at Steak and Shake to refuel. I think Paul may have broken the world record for
longest dirt road ride on a TT bike.
This last week I had a great solo ride too. I went out on my
mountain bike and rode some of the forest roads in Yellowwood state forest in
Brown County. These roads were
awesome with nice long gradual climbs and basically no cars. I road for almost 3 hours on these
great forest roads. The one
disappointing thing about living in Bloomington though is the lack of single
track that you can ride too. There
are tons of hiking trails and horse trails around but almost all of them are
closed to bikes. It really makes
me miss Korea where almost every hiking trail is open to mountain bikers. For Thanksgiving I’m in Colorado with
my family. It’s the first time we
have all been together in over a year! We are going to go to Steamboat springs
and go skiing. Should be a great
break! Happy Thanksgiving!
