2012 is all in for the NJBA TT Cup again. Figured I'd take one more shot at the 4/5 overall before graduating to my age group and throwing down with the old farts in 45+

A year of constant Kenny L. has worked wonders and power is up significantly over 2011. Weight down, power up, piriformis injury seems to be in complete remission.

As usual, the cat 4/5 group has new guys come out of the wood work each year. Some new riders doing the series, some stepping up their game. Roy and Erick are off doing other things in 2012 but Adam, John and Colin have stepped in to take their place. With 6 races done I am holding onto a lead of a few points going into Upper Freehold and the Chatsworth. The peak is for Chatsworth so we'll pretty much know what the overall is going to look like after States.

Results to date have been solid. Second at Hook on a good ride and a win at Cape May in the rain. More importantly, I have a PR streak going back to Sandy Hook last year. Looking forward to keeping that alive Sunday (UF) and in a couple weeks at Chatsworth.


Off the bike life is good. Work is busy and productive, Jan is back exercising regularly and feeling good. No complaints.


Welcome back Peloton East!

Nice! I've been kinda missing a forum to post up my still lackluster weekly perfromances at the local races. Actually lackluster is being way to generous.... Anyway, as some of you know I had a year (2009) when I went "all in" and did all the local TT's. After having my slowness confirmed and documented for all to see I swore off TT's forever and sold all my TT stuff (except for my pointy helmet and my skinsuit. A skinsuit is something you really can't sell...kinda like used underwear. It just does not work).

Well, something triggered a nerve synapse deep inside my brain ( and no, don't ask me to prove I have a brain) and I had a sudden urge to start doing TT's again. I mean, it's like being a heroin addict (something I unfortunately know a little about). You know it's bad for ya, but there's a pull to it that's just irresistable. And I went all in. Brand new Scott Plasma, HED disc, Quark power meter. Did I miss anything? So, five or six grand later I'm back to riding slow on a TT bike again. Jason was able to get a college fund started for the kids, so I feel good about that.

But I still suck.

I haven't DFL'ed one yet...but it's not for lack of trying. 15th out of 16 at Readington (but 13 seconds faster than back in 2009). Disastrous Cape May, 9th out 10 and 1:07 slower than 2009. 13 out of 14 with an okay Somerset 45 seconds off my 2009 time.

Next up is Freehold. 2009 was 29:30, so that's the target. I would like to work my way into the top ten in 55+. But it's tough. Each year the classes keep getting harder, more guys moving up. And they're all faster than me.

But I like TT's. I like TT bikes (they look cool). Theoretically you can buy speed. So that's a good thing. I like the planning, pre-riding the courses, watching pre-reg and seeing who I can possibly beat (it's a really short list). Finding a way to beat my arch-rival team mate Joey Schaivo, we're neck-in-neck most of the time. TT's are a math problem...and I like numbers.

So there ya have it. I'll see some of you at Freehold. If you're doin' the 55+, say hello on the way by! ]]> Ed Peterson Diaries Ed Peterson http://www.pelotoneast.com/showthread.php?t=9842 http://www.pelotoneast.com/showthread.php?t=9841&goto=newpost Mon, 14 May 2012 20:39:17 GMT Peter,

Thanks for resurrecting this message board. I'd like to help you promote this via my website, if you desire. Is there a particular message you want to put out?
