Bring the Puppy Home

One of the largest CompuTainer Multi-Rider centers is in Chicago. Owned and operated by Robbie Ventura, his Vision Quest Coaching is one of the most successful and respected services in the US. We have been trying to come up with a new, inventive and entertaining video to extend the CompuTrainer-VQ model and have hit the proverbial wall. Could it be possible that everything involving the synergy of video, high speed internet, indoor cycling, and professional coaching has already been done?

REALLY?

No, not really. Not even close. We just haven't nailed it yet. Much like the triathlete who excels at running and makes a commitment towards the improvement of her bike skills, that glorious combination of one contributing to the other is what we are discussing, and where we are. We could give up. We could say, it will never work. We could quit seeing all the troubling issues and potholes ahead. We could easily say, it's kinda OK now, why more? We could filibuster.

REALLY?

No. We won't. We will move, explore, talk, test, offer and ride. We will take this from the here to the there. It may be hard. It maybe steep, the pace might be quick and require a few blasts of explosive power that we up till now, weren't sure we had. It may feel like a double century at times, but we will endure.

We will bring this puppy home.

Ever feel that way at about mile ten of a hilly half?

BRING THE PUPPY HOME.

Finish the job. One foot in front of the other. Think (KNOW) you can. You will. It is your will.

This just in on the reincarnation of the infamous Toe Jam Half Marathon. Looks like the changes to the course have added a few climbs, as if that was needed, so I can say with a high degree of anticipation, that a full 33.3% of the 29ers will be in attendance come April 25 (a rare off date for RCV man unless we decide to shoot Robbie's Santa Rosa ride).

Either way the puppy will get home.



Vid & Pix: Robbie Ventura telling it like it is on top of the cycling world. At the bottom: One third of the 29ers (the three who ran the 29th ANNUAL Toe Jam Half in 2009 will be on the starting line for the BI Half on April 25. I can only speak for RCVman on this).
