Another year has come and another great event is before us. For some of you this will be your first one, and for others your first event even. All you really have to remember is to smile and have fun, and then everything else will follow. Of course you have to eat and pedal, but smiling really is the most important.

 

The team I rode with had an incredible ride on Sunday and from what I have heard from the other coaches it sounds like we are ready to fly!!

 

It is no surprise to me that we felt good- that is what rest weeks do for you. This week we want to hang on to that feeling with out wasting our selves in any way. Also this week it is really important that you stay hydrated and that you eat well all week. Please be that kid with the water bottle in your classes and that kid who eats the good lunch. Be on top of the little things.

 

The little things are eating well, getting to bed on time, staying hydrated, not horsing around too much at school, doing your homework on time so you do not have to stress. If you do these little things they add up to big things. These are the things that you can control that can make big differences.

    Hey gang..El Tour bike-swag check:
    -Make sure your tires are not shredded and tread is good; roads could be slick and very wet.
    -Chain and cassette are cleaned
    -Wheels not wobbly-do they need some truing?
    -(2) spare tubes each rider and CO2 or a pump
    -Brakes adjusted..not rubbing rims
    -Saddle height right, seat post snug.
    -RAIN GEAR check to make sure ya got it because it could be a WET one on Sat.
    -Bring a good attitude to the start line and it will be fun!
