Me and the big berry boys at b-hill

It seemed not long ago that any response to questions about me racing was always "nah, done that. Biking is just for fun now."

Then a couple of months ago I find myself in a race. It's okay, it is only a masters race. I can control it and quit when ever I want.

But I just found myself registering for the 1/2 pro Berkeley Hills Road Race.

Oh crap, what have I done? Maybe I can't control this. So the masters is full; I shoulda just stayed home and rode around the central coast. But no, gotta race. And heck, my lisence still says I'm a 1, so why not race in the prosey race. Oh crap, what have I done?

91 miles. Rolling terrain. New saddle that I still have not dialed in. Just how long will it take to get that sweet spot that I had in the last? Hopefully before Saturday morning.

Okay, it's been 15 years since I raced on the course, so my description might be off. And thinking about it, hilly is correct. I guess that is how it got its name.

yeah, that's what I was going to say. HILLY. I'm pretty sure it meets my definition of hilly, which is at least 1,000 feet of climbing per 10 miles. It seems rolling if you are just out for a nice Saturday leisure ride. But, at race pace that thing hurts!

Oh, I'm sure hurting is something that I will be experiencing tomorrow. And, by lap 3, I might be willing to change my description to mountainous. Pain, here I come.

Anyways, let me know what you think. Is training via the internet something you would do?
