Welcome back, John. See you at tonight's ACA meeting?

We'll be passing out copies of the proposed new bylaws, to be voted on next month. Big changes!

Subject: Selling Track Bike TODAY (Giant size "L"), Delivery to Houston Tuesday

I have to sell this now. It's here in Austin, but I can get it to Houston (near Alkek) by Tuesday. This is a velodrome (track) bike, so please forward this to your friends in Dallas and Houston (or where ever else there's a velodrome).

2006 Giant Track Bike Size "L" - $812 - Must sell TODAY

This price is $750 + TX sales tax. (It's $780 incl. shipping to ship out of state.) I paid over $1500 for the parts in 2007 and the bike's in excellent condition. (I guess everyone's short of cash these days.)

High-resolution photos: danielnorton.com/4sale/2006tb

If I don't sell it today, I plan on shipping it to a guy in California (Hellyer) tomorrow.

This bike is built for track use and lacks a brake. (It also lacks pedals.) It is extremely light and stiff and accelerates quickly and immediately, but the extreme stiffness makes it a very uncomfortable ride on most road surfaces. In other words, this is not a road fixie.

Overbids are welcome. :-)

Frame	2006 Giant Omnium TCR, Large

I'm doing 7- 20 second sprint intervals w/ 1.5 minutes recovery between after work today. Great Northern is easiest for me. I'll plan on starting around 5:30 or so. Anyone want to join me, or does anyone have something else planned that could accommodate some sprint intervals?

I have other plans that I'd like to invite all to, but it doesn't accommodate sprint intervals. The Ride of Silence meets at 6:30 p.m. at the Pfluger Bridge and rolls at 7:00 p.m.

Is anyone thinking/planning on doing the mountain bike ride Friday August 28th in Wichita Falls? Or going up early for the Crits?

I was thinking about trying the HHH Triple Threat and am looking for someone else who might be interested. The Triple Threat is the 12-mile mountain bike ride on Friday, 100-mile road ride on Saturday and 13-mile trail run on Sunday. They offer shorter distances for both the road ride and trail run, but they aren't part of the Triple Threat.

Hey Jake. I'll bet your students don't know what they're in for :-)

I can't do it right now, but next week I'll look over the workouts I've been doing since November and give you some idea of how my coach (Source Endurance) structured things.

I think the current wisdom is that Long Slow Distance makes sense if you're a pro and have all day to devote to riding, but for the rest of us, a month off the bike and then a few hours of LSD durinig the week means we're gonna be fat and slow come springtime, so maintaining intensity through the winter makes good sense.

Hello everyone!

I'm in the process of planning a winter cycling program for the wellness center that I'm working at. We are hoping to acquire 8 trainers and have people bring in their own bikes. We'll have a potential wide variety of students attending the classes, so I'm thinking of having a mostly base-building aerobic program along with a program designed to improve power, endurance, and speed. Ed Pavelka from Bicycling Magazine advocates doing some short intense work during the winter, claiming "by beginning to develop speed in winter, you have more time to concentrate on it." http://books. google.com/ books?id= LDmxGcjoCaYC&pg=PA97&lpg=PA97&dq=winter+training+ for+cyclist&source=bl&ots=eNnqZofXKh&sig=CPMMDfBSA0tVg5M GjM2rZztpcLQ&hl=en&ei=z1QKStKpNY2EtAOT w5ThCA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=10#PPA102, M1

I have to say this Spring, I've felt like I could have used some intensity during the winter.

I'm wondering if the following general outline would be beneficial as a winter cycling program:

1. I'm thinking of 3 things: power, endurance, speed. I'd like to focus on a particular skill for a 4-week block, with the fourth week being one for recovery/rest.

2. Start in October with climbing--working on all different types with "simulated hills."

3. Start new 4-week block with more focus on power with high resistance, but with higher cadence, and incorporation of intervals.

4. New 4-week block with focus on endurance: low-resistance, moderate cadence with intervals as low as 75% of max hr; longer intervals up to 12 minutes.

5. Last cycle--focus on speed: High intensity sprints shorter than 45 seconds.

I've basically taken this whole program from Pavelka's ideas, except that he doesn't include climbing in his winter program, and he goes in 6-week cycles. I'd love to hear your ideas and thoughts on this, and if you have some suggestions, I'd appreciate them!!

Thanks,

Jake

I'm selling it no matter what, but I expect to get about $1,000 for it.

Of course it's designed for the track, where it accelerates like a bat out of hell, but on the road it's an extremely stiff ride. I do have a brake for it that easily bolts on to the front fork.

Thanks, Stanton and John. That's pretty much what I had concluded and why I stripped the components off of it this morning before photographing it. Here's the frame I'm moving the components to (This is what I was riding 2-3 years ago):

http://www.danielnorton.com/4sale/2004fs

There's a shop I like in Philadelphia that charges $75 to replace the dropout (not sure about paint, shipping is about $30 R/T), but even if I fix it I'll just turn around and sell it, anyway.
