Fun 101 Update Challenge

Third time is a charm. Finally got the protocols properly detailed on the 4+2 drills and launched another test this morning in the HoM. Called it the FAB 4 due to the recurring Beatles tunes used as the two minute rest periods. We still need to work on the four minute intensity bouts but we're getting better and I think this will be a nice change for a spell. It will probably get us out of the sixties to boot. Maybe. I kinda like these two minute ditties.
On another note (as referenced this morning) we do these power drills indoors to add to our steady-state, sweet-spot acumen for the CompuTrainer BAC Time Trials, and then take it outside come robins, rainbows and Rainier. Train in, test in, ride out. Therein lies the payout.

And speaking out outdoor payouts, we now have officially one car filled with intrepid riders for the 2011 Fun 101 Tour (aka Bernie's Grand Adventure). Above is (like you missed it?) the web version of the poster which will get plastered around town beginning tomorrow. It has pretty much been determined that Wednesday's ride from Forks to the beautiful lodge at Lake Quinault will be a "race leg'. It is the shortest ride of the five days at a mere 64 miles (102K) and as the Lodge is by far the most charming of the tour accommodations (nowhere did we say luxury), we wanna get there early and sit at fireside and quaff frosty draughts. Then sleep in.

The challenge has been thusly extended to the civilized cycling world. In the ramp up to the grand adventure, now a little over seven weeks away, we will continue to work hard in the HoM in preparation. About,

Eight Days a Week.
