Off-the-bat, I’m poor at time-trialing. Most mountain bikers are poor at time trialing, with a few exceptions, but I am especially poor. Four years ago, when I was able to get top-3 in every road race I entered, I could barely get top-20 in a time trial, and that was with disc wheels, aero-helmets, skin suits, the whole number. So, when I lined up on Thursday for the Prologue to the Willamette Stage Race, I was intimidated, to say the least. I had dug up some old profile aerostrykes out of a cabinet in my garage, and only cruised two rest days on them.

It looks like Spring is here, at last. At least, I can hope that the weather stays this nice. It was beautiful, clear blue skies and warm all today – perfect weather for riding, sunbathing, reading and working outside…everything I love to do.

Training was blah last week. After the BB3, I took a few days off, bought some new tires, and even went for a run!
