Go to the mall with your grandma(or any love one) and do laps. Having her drop you between Sears and The Gap is rough but you can rally back because the company is priceless!!
And if you are good she will buy you ice cream!!
So get out there and do mall intervals with some one special and you just might get some ice cream too. May not make you fast on the bike but it is important!!

Yet another piece of training wisdom
Write a long race report for your team blog while its still sunny out yet with a chance of thunderstorms possibly. Hopefully it will start raining. Now you will have an excuse for not riding, thunder storms man!!! It works for me.

Race Proven Drink!
Goose and Nars raced the Short Track like that, and after the second lap they were strewn about on the course right after the G-out section.
Definitely gave us something to do whilst enduring the pain that is Short Track.
Here's one of the only shots of Nars looking happy the entire w/e-

Chris's great thought late in the day
New training regime includes eating dog food and huffing gas.
I don't know where it came from, but he's trying to drive home now.
Wish him luck...
I believe he needs it.

The Night Before...
The night before a double weekend of racing take a short lil' ride on your favorite off road short track course . Do not bring lights and preferably wear loose fitting street cloths. Look for a low hanging branch that is sturdy and secure. Ride fast and hit it hard enough with your head that you go flying backwards at least 10 feet from your bike. Pick the bark out of your head, look for blood and continue. You should have a nice headache. Ready to race you will be!!!

Never Train Again...
You will never have to train again ifn'
you race big-stupid-long races a lot.
During the week you can curl up with a good book or with your sweetie
and you won't have to worry about training. Yup, rest is the best!!
My choice is the the book. By choice or circumstance, hhmm?...shit

June was made for racing and sweltering
That's right.
So much racing that you don't have to train much.
So much heat that you're wishing that it would return to Spring or Fall.
All that bitchin' and moaning about the weather, the rain, the need for long rides, how your buddies and doing intervals, your buddies not being at the races, all that stuff.
Just look at the sort of thing we got planned here-
* Last w/e, wasn't June when we raced the Mohican, that's why at night it rained and we got scared. But we did race that long, kind of sloppy and turn filled race.
And were tired all week. Some of us are still trying to get over the odd cold, some are claiming to be getting one (I think it's the demon gender cause though...).
* June 7-8 24 Hours of Big Bear. We all got on teams, all hanging out at the Big Bear Penthouse Suites. Me and PP are on Duo Teams, Goose is on a 4-man Pro.
* June 14-15 Appalachian Classic. We got Short Track and TT on Sat. We also got the Weedhawks jamming that night. The the XC on Sunday. Camping out indeedie-doo.
* June 21-22 Davis Rock & Road. Some long stupid hill filled race on Sat. in Tucker County and then the WV State Championships on Sunday. Both long. Both hard.
* June 28-29 Kind of undecided. Maybe some Road racing action in OH both days on the way down to...
* July 1-3 Masters Road Nats. Road racing in Louisville, KY. Only I don't get to RR cause my RR is on the same day, right before the Tandum RR. So we're opting for the Tandum. Goose is going to be feeding us both.
* July 4-6 Barbour DeTour, then a decision, stay there or go down to St. Albans and do the Grand Prix. Not sure about Sunday.
* And the fun continues I'm sure, Pro Style cause Goose is going to be staying here for the extended Bi-atch Pro Tour.
So what do we do inbetween traveling and racing?
* We commute to Betsy's work.
* We ride at the UHS Short Track w/ Jackie, work on skillz.
* We do the Wednesday Hammer Ride unless it's cold and raining.
* Rinse repeat.
What else would you need to do?
