Many miles.
Great meeting with the brass at CTHQ yesterday. We talked about the 2010 RCV shoot schedule, added some events , deleted a few (flat ones), discussed the beta testing for off-road events and cross, and narrowed the focus to some pretty cool races guaranteed to put a smile on your face as the heat is applied to legs. Grin on hot wheels!
As much as I'd like to post the schedule, yesterday was just round one. I have tons of research to conduct until the events and dates are final, so please be patient with us in this pernicious process. One event that I can introduce, either way, is the upstate NY Tour of the Batenkill. It is the largest one day Pro road race in North America, and pretty much has it all, and lot's of it in the traditional European style (long, hard and rugged). The link to the video is a excellent representation of the event as described by the RD. The YouTube video above, ahem, speaks for itself.
So we're off and running into the 2010 season. Two important and newsworthy notes from the week in cycling, CompuTrainer announced yesterday that they have signed three-time Ironman World Champion, and holder of the women's bike course record in Kona, Chrissie Wellington, to a sponsorship package. Chrissie joins fellow UK star and X-Terra Champion, Julie Dibens as CT users. BTW, Julie was the only gal to beat Chrissie in 2009 at the 5430 Long Course in Boulder. The Triathlon Coach, Simon Ward. I am quite sure, is a happy and busy guy today.
The second and final note today, is Big D in LA showing off his new Primal bike jersey that showed up a few days after his 1.18 date of birth.
May you all enjoy many miles of training, riding and racing. And PLEASE remember to look good for the race photogs!!!!!

Man, that looks like fun.
Fun, indeed. We want to try some rode events this year and I came across the Battenkill, I said, hell yeah!
Wait until tomorrows post when we announce the little off-road event on the schedule!
FYI, I will be in LA next week (shooting the final stage of the Toc) and need the Sunday, can you take my 0700-0830 class?
Oopps, make that road, vice rode. Hard to shoot video in the past tense!!!
Yes, I can cover the 0700 January 31st 90 minute spin session. You're still on for the 0530 Feb 5 session while I'm in San Diego.
Yes, can do. Thanks.
