Moving on from triathlon

This blog has taken many forms over the years, music, producing, music, IT, triathlons.  Looks like I'll be spending more time on just the bike going forward.

I'll now attempt to chronicle my new journey to upgrade to USA Cycling Category 3 Road racing.

I've sketched out the next few months of training using a new, low cost eBay purchased custom built wheel using a 16 hole PowerTap SL+ hub which was laced on a Bontrager carbon rim.  With this, a basic Ascent fluid trainer ($129 @ REI), and a $12/month subscription to TrainerRoad, I've got my training set.  




I've looked a a variety of training programs and the base building ones from TrainerRoad seem to work just fine for a enthusiast like me.  Find me over at Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/1428675
