The Lama Chronicles is about my quest to become an endurance athlete in the sport of mountain biking. I will discuss what it is like to be 49 year old and try to incorporate all the necessary training required to be competitive in the NUE (National Ultra Endurance) Series as well as being a husband and father of 3 that owns 2 small businesses in Michigan. Lama is my nickname, it was bestowed on me by some of the best friends a guy could have and it is short for "Dalai Lama".

A Few Good Rides...
The past 3 days where some good training rides, 1 hour on the rollers on Saturday, a good 34 mile dirt road ride and another 60 dirt road ride on the mountain bike... Time to ramp things up for the long season ahead. The last time I did this 60 mile ride it took me 5.5 hours and the roads where crap, I am glad I could take 1 hour off my time with good conditions.

Looking Ahead to 2012 Races
I've spent the last couple of days reviewing my race schedule for 2012 and trying to find my motivation in it. I registered for the Yankee Springs Time Trial today which is a great season opener, but I have also registered for the Barry-Roubaix 61 mile race to take place the end of March.
I have pre-rode the 61 mile loop for Barry-Roubaix a couple of weeks ago
Here is my Garmin data... Tough workout in tough conditions
