ERhmmm.. riding.

Over the weekend JP and I have been hitting the roads. Nothing unusual about that for JP who's been piling on the miles all winter, but it's done me the world of good. Friday we headed out for 3 hours of hard riding, a lot of hills and some wind over towards the Cordes and Penne valley area. Then in the evening we had a totally wild night out!!! Oh yeah, we went out for a night on the town... we went out to BINGO!!!! hmmmm... it was good for John as it helped him learn his numbers, so now when the team yell over the radio some race numbers to follow, or KM markers John will know what's going on. We got it so totally late from our night in the city, in twas like midnight.. straight up.. for real.. midnight. Good lord we are SO wild down here in southern France. And that's not the best, the totaly hip and happening thing is that we STILL went out training the next day! Are we wild or what?!!!

So today (Saturday) we got up, had coffee, you know.. the tough life. Then we rode into Albi and joined a group ride. We got in a little over 3 hours, cam home, then went straight out for another easy spin, like 45 mins or so. I took my TT bike.

You heard of Dirt Crits? Know about CycloCross?

well check out the new rage in France: CycloDirt TT!

All in all a good day, some 4 + hours of training.

Tomorrow John goes down to the team training camp in the Pyrenees. He'll race a TT in Spain monday, a road race in Spain Wednesday, then team training... then I will most likely do some BIG races the next weekend in the Basque country before coming back, either here or to the team house.

As for me, well I'll pack my big butt on a seat in class and do that thing... hmm.. :-(
If all goes well John has the opotunity to get selected by the team for the Tour of Majorca, a tour on one of the sunny spanish islands.. major cool race!!!! I'm SO jealouse!!!
