Recently, Marten Ryerson from Team RideClean and I have been conversing about how our two organizations can work together. Right now we have NO idea what that looks like and I don’t really care. If we can help to share their message I’m happy. “Team RideClean is a Cat 1 – 2 cycling team that exists to promote clean sport, facilitate discussion of this topic and support clean athletes through an organization of solidarity. The team was originally founded to promote clean cycling with the hope of reconnecting the discouraged and disillusioned with the romanticism and pureness of our beautiful sport.” This is a purpose statement I can get excited about.

Our friends at Fluid Recovery are the official recovery drink for the team and Outside All Day wants to do everything we can to promote their cause and help get the word out.

Check out their sites at:
http://www.ridecleanteam.com and http://www.rideclean.net

Promo movies on the team can be found out:

Over the next few weeks we will be bringing you more detail about the team, rider bios/interviews along with race results.

EPO is lame and dopers suck!

As a quick aside on doping, I’m 100% convinced that Floyd Landis is not guilty. Just in case you wanted my opinion.

The day was so much fun. Carter and I hung with Greg “Old Man” Sellers (Motor Tabs) and Rich “Smooth Dog” Smith (Fluid Recovery Products) for most of the day and really enjoyed some quality racing. Sheek actually took the time to grace us with his presence during the pro race. Rock N Road and Sho-Air/Sonance Elite Cycling put on a great first year event.

Tony Cruz raced strong in the pro race. Fun to see a guy like that at our local event.

Interesting conversation happened on the blog post race. It appears one dude wasn’t too happy the GP took place in his back yard. Click here to read his comments.

As I was typing in the upstairs office tonight with my shirt off I got pissed as I looked in the mirror! I’m back up 7 pounds since March 29. The real tipping point came on Saturday during my ride with Greg Sellers. Greg hooked me up with a Motor Tabs team jersey. I love the jersey but I have a nasty case of jersey gap when I wear it, uggh. It’s time to get serious about my weight again. I’m banking on Breakaway Training to get me back down to where I want to be. There’s something about Felipe’s plans that keep me motivated to train.

The plan is lot’s of riding and eating well plus documenting what I eat (food journal). The other essential part of the plan is to train well with the nutrition products I have access to. This will allow my training to be quality. Effective use of Bonk Breakers (pre), Motor Tabs (during) and Fluid Recovery (post) will provide the energy and recovery that’s necessary.

Lastly, I’ve chosen my next race, the Rim Nordic Cross Country #4, Aug. 17, 2008 in Lake Arrowhead, CA. I’ll race beginner and enjoy myself while watching Dave pound out 4 laps and attempting to kill his arch enemies.

It’s on like donkey kong! 5:30 am here I come…

It’s with great excitement that we welcome Fluid Recovery Products to the Outside All Day team. The guys at Fluid are sharp and their products are first class. It’s a partnership that Dave and I are super excited about.

Support our newest sponsor and check out their products and website.

As I wrote this post I realized how many dope sponsors we now have on board. With Bonk Breaker, Motor Tabs and Fluid you have the nutrition trio for all workouts and races. Breakaway Training offers the best training services on the planet for cycling and triathlon and Rock N Road has been my local bike shop for 5 years. It all kind of gives me a warm fuzzy.
