Chronicles of a bike racer: May 2008
http://timgresh.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Chronicles of a bike racer. Wednesday, May 07, 2008. It's been a while since Belize. A few people have told me that they have been checking out the blog that I never update. So since there are some people reading this thing i'll update. This past weekend I hope was a bit of a break through for me. My teammate Dan Wilson, was with me in the break and stayed with it till the end, and got 3rd in the sprint. Overall I felt like I was working pretty hard in the break. Maybe a bit too hard. That's all for now.

Chronicles of a bike racer: Stage 4
http://timgresh.blogspot.com/2008/02/stage-4.html
Chronicles of a bike racer. Friday, February 15, 2008. Today was stage 4 of the tour. 140km. We were all pretty beat as we went through sign in. Gabe's back and ribs are really soar, and Dan has been hurling most of last night. We think it is because of the heat. Dan still started today anyway. That's all for now. Ciao! Great to read about the race so far! Best of luck with the rest of the stages. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Udderly Smooth Chamois Cream. Picture diary from Belize.

Chronicles of a bike racer. Monday, August 27, 2007. So the other day I am out for a ride. I am pedaling along, feeling good. Mile after mile, hour after hour my body working the way I want it to. This was a feeling I could only dream about in the past. Do what you love. Never give up. The pendulum ALWAYS swings the other way. Tuesday, August 07, 2007. Why not start fitting bikes? I already have buisness cards made, and am ready to help people with their aches and pains on the bike! Work, a lot. Right LA...

Chronicles of a bike racer: Tour of Ohio Stage 3
http://timgresh.blogspot.com/2008/06/tour-of-ohio-stage-3.html
Chronicles of a bike racer. Thursday, June 19, 2008. Tour of Ohio Stage 3. I was able to race today! Although I am 1hr back on GC! Oh well, no worries. Here is how the finish was: Wide main road, with a hard right hand turn that led up a pretty steep twisting climb to the finish. This meant that everyone was going to fight to be the first through that right hand turn if they were to have any chance of getting a good place. And remember, we are also going down this main road at 40 mph! Tour of Ohio Stage 3.

Chronicles of a bike racer. Monday, June 23, 2008. Tour of Ohio Stage 4&5. Then zig-zag our way to a 500meter decent down a cement hill that was at least a 25% grade! At the bottom was a 180degree turn, followed by a 90degree left, then another 90degree right, then you were on the finishing stretch. All we needed was some rain to make it even more sketchy! So that's the tour of ohio! Thursday, June 19, 2008. Tour of Ohio Stage 3. I was able to race today! Although I am 1hr back on GC! Oh well, no worries.

Chronicles of a bike racer: November 2007

Chronicles of a bike racer. Friday, November 16, 2007. Instead of wasting my time watching episodes of “The Office”, I mine as well do a little updating…. Lately I have been satisfied at how things have been going. The only issue that still keeps me somewhat concerned is a little quadriceps tendonitis. In the left knee, which has been ongoing. Luckily I was able to get a prescription for physical therapy from Dr. Gish of OAL. I went to PT (my 7th PT by now? Okay, enough talk about injuries….

Chronicles of a bike racer. Wednesday, June 18, 2008. Tour of Ohio Stage 2. Today's 70-mile road stage was another rough day, with some bad luck mixed in. The legs felt, eh. The pace wasn't too bad. The climbs were MUCH more significant and difficult that we had expected. I mean, it's Ohio, how bad could they be? All I have to say is I really wish I had not left my 11-26 cassette at home! The first sign of life I saw in all that time was a police cruiser 1 hour later! I am being told I can start tomorrow...
