These days, most of my riding buddies are a little burnt out on racing. After 4 or 5 years of spending a summer doing a race every other weekend or so, most of us have decided that this summer we just want to have fun riding. It’s not uncommon: bike racing is grueling. Of all the [...] OK, I wasn’t going to race this summer. Then, I committed to do the Laramie Enduro. Now, I have a training program… …and part of that program is a couple of hard efforts.
