My Monday update.

Well, technically its still Sunday, but I am going to write up my Monday blog before Guitar Ted steals all the glory with his weekly rants. This week I get to start scheduled bike workouts. I am looking to do 3 cycling workouts per week indoors at the House of Pain in Cedar Falls. What's the House of Pain you ask? Well, one of the local hammerheads owns/works at a printing company. When the place closes down on Tuesday and Thursday nights, the local racers come in and do group indoor cycling workouts. It gets pretty nutz! There is usually about 10 of us or so. This will go on till it's warm enough to get back outside in the Spring. By the end of these workouts you are pretty beat.....hence the name "House of Pain." There have been riders that go so hard that they fly off their rollers. We have even had a few guys blow-chunks......if you're going to spew, spew into this!

Myself and Guitar Ted get to work the night shift at Europa on Monday night, so we are going to try to get the final touches put on the Trans-Iowa race. I cannot believe the amount of interest that has been generated outside of the Midwest. They must think this race is going to be a walk in the park. Ha! Little do they know how harsh the Springs can be. The weekend that this race is set for has seen all types of weather conditions......30 degrees and sleeting.....70 degrees and dry as a bone. Not to mention we could have a 30 mph head wind the entire way. What will be in store for us this year?

Today was pretty slow at the shop. Sold a few light sets and did some Q and A with customers about bikes. Nothing out of the ordinary for a bike shop in December.

Well it's time to surf the net a bit more then hit the sack. Tomorrow is a long cardio workout at the YMCA.....more stairmaster. Tuesday will be weights in the AM and bike work in the PM. Wahoo! Got to love the offseason.

Train Hard! Rest Harder!

Out.
