I race bikes. No, not that kind.....

The kind that you pedal, you know, with your legs? Yeah! Like when you were a kid........

The first XC race of the year is Sunday: Bike Line Spring XC @ Fair Hill. It's the first race in the Mid-Atlantic Super Series, and will be a good early-season test of the legs. Aside from a little cold I had 2 weeks ago, prep has gone well. I've worked pretty hard this off-season to make up the difference between myself and the front of the pack. But I must give credit where credit is due, and that credit belongs to my coach, Cody Waite, owner of Endurance Performance Coaching in Denver, Colorado. Where it's my job to execute the plan, it's his job to build the plan, and I must say that he knows his stuff! This being my second year under Cody's watch, I've seen how he's adapted his styles and methods to my personal self. The result has been astounding this off-season, resulting in a much stronger Hebrew Cyclist than I could have imagined!

Thank you Cody for putting up with me for a second year!

Scenes from a ride

Rode my bike on Monday from Washington Crossing, NJ to Stockton, NJ on the Delaware Canal Tow Path trail. It was a gorgeous day, ripe for picture taking. Hopefully I'll remember to take my camera more often on my recovery days. Enjoy.

This guy was obviously getting fed by somebody, since he had no qualms about getting right next to me.

There are tons of old stone bridges along the river, here's one that's easy to miss.

The day's ride consisted mostly of cinder/gravel towpath trail, with a fun road loop added in the middle to make thing interesting.

One of the many abandoned rail cars on the old tracks along the canal.

That tower at the top of the hill in the distance is Bowman's Tower. The tower was finished in 1931 as a commemoration to George Washington. Perhaps I'll mosey on over to it for some pics next time.
