Kickoff with some good hard training

Not even going to apologize for my lack of updates this time.

Anywho, my writing well be off a little bit as I have just got back from a 112 mile WBL ride. WBL is Winter Bike League which is organized winter training with attack zones sprinkled in. Quite a bit of riders show up like around the 100 mark. Always strong guys show up. i.e. John Murphy, Frank Travieso, Nick Reistad, Matt Crane, Tim Henry, Bruno Langolois, etc. Apologize for all the misspelin's.

Today's ride was the 112 mile ball buster up to Mt Alto and back. The first attack zone started around the 42mile mark and lasted for 6 miles or so. The attack zone consisted of Mt Alto climb (a 3 stair stepper climb around 10-15mins long then a righthand turn at the top and another 2-3 miles to Alto City Limit sign. Not much too report Im afraid as I dont remember any :P Tim Henry, Nick Reistad, Matt Crane, and myself got away and pacelined it to the sprint where I got owned by Reistad and Henry after Matt's leadout. Got 3rd. My roomate, Nick Housley got 8th.
20 or so miles later was a short 800 m steep climb called Crackback hill. Tim Henry jumped early with the Jelly Belly duo and I just couldnt go and got like 4 or 5 or something.
Fastforward another 20 miles (that's 94miles) and the last attack zone took place. 9 mile flat to rolling stretch attack zone. I dont know what happened again. There was like 15 of us. And Tim Henry went off and benefited from the lack of cooperation between everybody. Matt Crane blew the doors off to get 2nd. I was pulling on the front as hard as I can and he just went around me like I throughout an anchor. I tried a couple of times to get away but I didnt have anything left after the attack. I watched the sprint from a safe distance. Rolled it in with the lead group and capped off the day with 112miles just over 5.5hrs. I need a beer (jk parents!)

Valley of the Sun in like 2 weeks!
