Old Cyclists Never Die

Frank's Web page

I'm back! It's been a busy Spring. Terry and I went to Texas for Hellweek in March and this gave me a nice jump start on the year. I've been riding a lot, with around 4000 miles so far this year. I try to do 3 200 mile weeks followed by a "rest" week of 120 miles or so.

I can't say that I'm really doing any serious training, although I ride hard on Wednesday and Saturday. Terry and I have been taking the tandem to Fred's on Mondays and sometimes this can be a hard ride for me, especially if Terry gets hammered and stops contributing. I just can't bring myself to do intervals or train on the TT bike.

I have started lifting again as preparation for heavy lifting in the Winter. At Rick Toler's suggestion I have been doing individual legs instead of lifting with both legs.
