Terry took me out to North Carolina for my first training trip. I was ready but had no idea what i was in for. We went for a week in the month of April. We rented a house on top of a hill that ended our road rides with 400 feet of elevation to climb. Terry and I just got our new 2009 Giant road bikes put together before this trip and i also put my new Giant XTC Advance mountain bike together to take along.
We had two strong road rides. The rest of the week, we rode mountain bikes. The XTC is not my ideal bike for the mountains i figured out. ( Flat Bars, Hard tail, 100 mm fork) I managed without complaints.
By the end of the trip, I went through lots of hard climbs, descents, and long rides. Riding with Terry for a week really helped me out and made me a better rider all around. Thanks a lot Terry!
Ready to Race!
