FAll

We're all but underway with the 2010 indoor training season. Sure there are plenty of you out there still enjoying some very good weather (see Branson, Kona, Arizona, Utah) but for an equal number of us (see Seattle, Chicago, Newfoundland, Green Bay) it is, again, that time of year. Fall.

Time to lube the chain, get upgraded, and hit the virtual highway. Interbike has ended its glorious run in Vegas and will move to Anaheim next year. I had a call from the boss last night and it seems that the CompuTrainer Racer One software debut was well received. There was lots of other good news as well, including our partnership with David Zabriskie (photo) for the upcoming indoor Time Trial series in conjunction with USA Cycling. I will be getting down to Bend, OR, to shoot the first course as soon as we can make the necessary logistical arrangements, and before it starts to snow.

We also got the final OK to shoot the latest from WTC, Ironman Texas, out near Houston. So I am trying to schedule that around Kona, the LA Tri, the Las Vegas Fondo and Bend. We are trying to put together a group for the Woodlands shoot similar to what we did last year at St. George. CT Coach Dana Lyons in Houston has volunteered to lead the charge and handle the ground work. If you are interested in participating in the ride, tent scheduled for 10/24, please use the comment form and away we ride.

Lastly, here is a link to a very cool winter racing op, called The CompuTrainer Race League. Pretty straightforward, easy to set up and use and appears to be great fun. I am going to see If I can get in on the first heat, and I highly encourage all you CT users out there to do likewise. We will take a similar approach with the DZ TT series, fyi. So get prepared.

All for today. It is officially fall. We have a 90 minute spin followed by a 5K run scheduled for tomorrow. Let's make it happen folks.
