The first race was the Masters which started 6 people.  I lead the first lap or two but after that Dwayne moved to the front and built a gap on everyone.  Eventually, Troy Kraus bridged up to Dwayne.  Later I bridged up to the leaders for a short stint.  From what I experienced Dwayne was setting such a blistering pace that no one was interested in taking a pull.  At the end of the race Dwayne took the final sprint over Troy.

Any one have any interest in the road races next weekend in Des Moines?  April 5 Altoona RR and/or April 6 Big Creek RR.  You can check out the info at www.all9yards.com

Good luck to racers and organizers for the Norfolk Training Crit.

I am truly sorry I am missing it: I want to be there to help out and see the action. It will be weird not being there but I will expect a full report post-race.

I know that the weather is a toss-up this thursday, but shall we plan a 6pm ride if it's not raining.  I got 30 miles in today, I started in Norfolk and took the 275 hills east  into the wind for starters and then same on Hwy 57 and I finished up returning to Norfolk on 24.  Avg speed  18.6 mph.

2008 Norfolk Race Series

Its almost here: The first race of the 2008 Norfolk Race Series starts at 7PM on May 6th with a time trial.

Full schedule for 2008:

EVCC/TBW starts the season with some solid performance at first of the three NCA training criteriums. 

Does anybody want to go on a ride tonight?  I was planning on starting at Woodland Park (the Shell station) and going toward Winside, weather permitting.  Townies could start at Cleveland's and meet up at WP.  Any takers?

Behind me and Richard, that's where. Here is the scene:

Small paceline - RIchard, me, and Todd. 20 mph or so, into the sun toward Battle Creek. All three of us totally in the zone.

Elkhorn Valley Cycling Club continues to grow and prosper, adding new members on a regular basis. Interest in recreational cycling is high and our Omaha base of operation, spearheaded by Joe Savoie, is getting a firm hold on the Omaha scene.

Recent new membes from Omaha include Brian Tangen, Craig Harding, Dan Ertz, and Nick Zeimet.

When welcoming these members, I asked them for a brief idea of what their expectaions were of themselves and the club. Here are a couple responses:

Craig Harding:

When does everyone want to start Wednesday Night Rides? For this week anyway, Wednesday looks to be the best night weather-wise. And with it being Holy Week, the nights gets busy for some.

Wednesday this week? 6:30PM at the shop?

Let's here some comments.

Also, I have updated the local race schedule to shift things to Tuesday nights.

If I remember right we are going to do the Norfolk race series on Tuesday nights and road group rides on Wednesdays are we going to do mtb group rides on Tuesdays when we have no races or do we want to do them on Thursdays?  I think we can start real soon as long as the weather holds. 

As long as it doesn't rain or snow much tomorrow, 3-15-08, I'm going to Maskenthine and ride the trail in the afternoon.  I hope to be there between 3:30 and 4PM if anyone wants to join me.  I don't know what condition the trail is in but I will when I'm done!

This is darn cool.

Wow, the last couple days were a rude introduction to the 2008 season. After Wednesday's beating at the hands of the NW wind, what had started out for me to be a moderately paced recovery ride tonight turned into another test of my stamina.

An abundance of information exists for endurance athletes; sometimes too much. It can become quite difficult to figure out exactly what you should and shouldn’t do in training because many sources have conflicting information. Below are some of the myths that seem to be perpetuated over and over again, even though the scientific research doesn’t back it up.

The mountain bike race season hits the ground running with the 2008 Maskenthine XC Classic, featuring tons of free stuff for entrants and the chance to win a brand new 29r mountain bike! The opening race of the 2008 Psycowpath series will be hosted by Elkhorn Valley Cycling powered by Monster with co-sponsors Cleveland Bike and Sport of Norfolk and The Bike Way of Omaha.

Once again, its volunteer request time. This year's major race calendar is compressed into the first part of the riding season, so please try to make every effort to help out. This has never been a problem and I don't anticipate it will be this year.

Those with issues will know why this is posted.

I spoke with Nick Cleveland this morning and he can get KHS Team Flite frameset (like Todd's new bike) for $799!

Rub your eyes, and look again.

$799 including frame and fork.

These are new and direct from KHS.

Get'm while they last.

THIS IS TEAM ONLY PRICE.
