Time for some smack down

I haven't posted my whole program yet. Will do soon. This weekend will be the first serious foray after getting my legs handed to me at Cherry Pie. Since then there have been some big mileage rides, many sprints, and some base-power intervals.

A group of Idaho boys will be coming over to show their stuff at Mason Lake #2 & Banana Belt #2 the following day. The program has a lot to prove, and we are confident with any of our guys in a break, or in a field sprint.

The Banana Belt results looked like it was a hard fought contest with Elken coming second. I bet he wasn't too happy with that. Not sure how it all went down there. The Mason Lake report sounded pretty amateurish, unless you were the dominant team in the break. Teams looked to be happy to have "a" guy in the break, and then the field spurted along behind them giving up 2 minutes or so in a lap. A solo win by Ongers looked impressive, but at this early stage it says more about the lack of preparation of the rest of the guys.

bobs-bicycles.com will find out just how tough the fields in WA and OR are when we have a team of 7 or 5 riders in the race. I know that the guys will be highly motivated after making the big drive and getting to race in some large fields.

See you at the races.

They deserved to be warned amigo. It's only fair they know what is about to hit them. And now they know that the talk is walk.
