Ok, so I’ve not been that great on keeping this updated. I will try to do much better since more races and training events are picking up this summer. The Tour de’ Caves in Kentucky (June 6, 2009) turned out to be a great little ride. I went up there with a few guys that I had met just the weekend before (David Runkle, Wes Allen, and the Bachus family). This ride also marked Shrek’s maiden voyage (my new green Trek Madone 6.5). The ride was small, only about 200 bikes or so, and the roads were really nice. Not as many hills as the typical deliverance back roads of middle TN, but still about 4,000 feet of climbing over 68 miles. We averaged 19.9 mph over the course… me and another guy kept riding past the end to try and hit a 20 average, but it just wasn’t happening and we were tired. I felt pretty good on my new bike and it was exciting to see my average speed improve with just the addition of a better bike. It still makes me sick to think how much I had to pay for just those couple extra mph’s though
Check back soon for updates on the Monster Tri and Old Hickory Tri.
