I've signed up for Hookit.com to start my sponsorship search for the 2011 season. I'm off to a good start, getting a few offers. Sadly, none of them really are of benefits for me. I can't fulfill the requirements listed in the contract, so I rejected them.
The weather is getting better every day here in New York, and can't wait for my first long ride of the season this weekend. And, with a week off next week, I have some good training planned. I can't tell you what, though, It would give away my secrets!
Till next time,

Titanflex
I have always romanticized beam (boom) bikes. From the Softride, to the Titanflex, I love the progressive designs of these bikes.
And, about a month ago today, I acquired a Titanflex Veteran for use this year. Tom Piszkin was great to work with, and even though I couldn't afford a brand new bike, hooked me up with a used one. I'll let the picture do the talking.
So, watch out, Ultra Marathon world, DG has a new beast of a bike for the 2011 season!
For now,

The 2011 Season
I'm not going to lie about this, nor hide any details. The 2010 Season was a disappointing season. I was plagued with overtraining, sickness, lack of motivation, and mechanical failures.
On the upper hand, though, my optimism still will show through. This year, I have been in contact with a few other Ultra Marathon Cyclists to help me have some continued success. (Thank you, Rob Morlock!) And, after extensive reading, and studying, I have come up with a training schedule that should land me at the Adirondack 540 injury and over training free!
I'll keep you posted on more! Till next time,

It Has Been A While...
I created this blog a while back to keep the interested informed. Nevertheless, not many people have taken the time to vist. But, keeping to the promise, I shall inform.
1. Training - Going well. Time at the local YMCA and at home on the indoor training bike is a little boring, but we get used to it. My progress is meticulously tracked on forms, and I frequently refer to previous workouts to streamline the process. Mile time : 5:40.
2. Event List - I have decided that I will attempt the NYS East to West ultracycling record this season. Since no one has yet attempted it, I'll get the judge, file the paperwork, and play by the rules, and by the end, have a nice medal to show for it. The Saratoga 24 hour is still on the list.
3. Sponsorship - A slow process, I am looking into local business sponsorships.
That's all for now... Talk later.
