ROCK RACING

Go check out the interview on velonews. That director dude is one crazy mofo.....I'm not sure I agree with hardly anything he says, but i like the dude. I think he is a great character for cycling! cycling needs more people like terell owens, or mike tyson!!! those people that just raise complete hell!!!

we got our first team camp this weekend....I'll try to post some photos from it.

BASE.....BASE.....AND MORE BASE......

Yep....base is bout all i know right now....But i guess thats the name of the game this time of year....This is the first year i have done a true base phase, and I have learned that there is a huge differance between strengh and fitness. I think I am getting stronger then ever, yet i am probably way less fit then i was this time last year. I have tried my best to stay under control and not go hard, and I can really tell this has worked because I did a group ride over the weekend, and it sucked!!! Just standing up over a hill at 400 watts killed me. Yet I think this is a good thing, since I usally have a habit of peaking to early....I'm a beast at endurence and tempo zones, but the second I enter thershold i feel like i only got 1 lung!!! Once again I'm thinking this is a good thing......So the moral of this story is constant group rides (in my un-professional opinion) are totally terrible for base. Because a 3 hour group ride for me avg, less watts then when i ride alone, yet the max in the group ride is way higher. Base isnt going easy, in fact i think that base is not going easy, yet never going hard.....I hope this makes sense to people......

SWEET VICTORY!!!!!!!!

So its a typical Wensday........go home ride....then me an my boys from my school go up to take advantage of all you can eat wings at HOOTERS. This is actually a fierce eating competion to see who can eat the most wings......To make a useless story short: It was a great battle.... me an Damon Weber (FOOTBALL PLAYER) pulled away from the pack and by the end i took victory shattering the old record of 51 wings with a grand total of 60 WINGS!!!!!! HELL YEA!!!!!!! I am now the offical Northwest High School record holder!!!!!!! If cycling don't work out I thinking about competitive eating.......On another note I had a great 3hr ride today an like half of it was in the pitch dark on the back roads of North GA (VERY SCARY).......
Everybody keep it real!!!!

Last few rides

The last few rides have been pretty good.......I got in 3 and a half hours on thanksgiving. Me and my dad went mountain bike riding and it was rainy and cold. A true epic ride. Today I rode with my teammate David Talbott. We set out for a solid 3 hr ride, but despite my great (or so we thought) knowledge of the area we managed to get lost. ADDING A MONSTROUS 30MIN TO OUR RIDE!!!!!!!!! A bummer indeed. Oh well, it was good to ride with lil' T.... Well 3hrs 2maro and sunday......... :(
aj!

A lil update

Well I'm officially back to full time riding.....I had a mild 11hr week this week. I stayed at my bro's college this week up at Sewanne and got some great riding in up there. The fall weather is beuatiful.....I'm currently weighing 148 and around 6'1....so I'm currently happy with my weight right now. I wanna be south of 145 my nats....so i got some work to do...This time last year I was 155 so I think my climbing will be much better this year....Our team's first training camp is soon.....
