Base2, Week 1

Base2 is build up of Base1. The ride time gets increased plus a Muscular-Endurance workout is added. I am feeling great right now. No signs of over training yet and I am eager to start my next workout.

I went to the Trek Store STL to look at bikes today at lunch and picked out a 2005 Trek Madone 5.2SL. Brewer and his staff were able to get me fitted after work and the bike was 99% finished by the end of the evening. Exact setup as my Lemond Tete De Course. That is a quick turn around. The new bike, even with Ultegra, is ~1 pound lighter then the Tete. I am planning to pick it up tomorrow after work. It would have been done last night, but I needed the next size larger handlebar. Luckily in stock and ready to go. Pictures tomorrow hopefully.

Today's training was great. Short and sweet.

Doesn't that bike come with dura ace components? And thank for clarifying that Karl.

The lemond has DA 9 speed. The madone has Ultegra 10 speed.

Hope you are okay after your crash. And, if so, I hope you were not on that new Madone.

Hope you recover soon from getting hit by a truck. That really sucks.
