Big Arrival

We received another trace of snow last night but we still don't have real accumulation in town.  The hills are getting more and more snow and hopefully this will keep up so the winter play areas start to open up to snow sports!

Considering the weather, it was another trainer day...I decided to do two sets of reverse intervals where you warm up for about 15 minutes, then start the first set which consists of alternating equal times with a hard effort then recovery so it was something like:
2 mins
1:30
1:15
1:00
45 secs
45 secs
45 secs
So it started with a 2 minute hard effort, then 2 mins rest, then 1:30 hard and 1:30 rest, etc
It is always a tough work-out if you go as hard as you can for the 'on' times.  The workout looked something like:
The second set is the tough one, especially when you get to the tail end and your recovery periods are getting shorter and shorter.

The big arrival is a frame that I purchased that should arrive today.  I am anxious to see it get here and will post some pics tomorrow (assuming it arrives today).  It is a Lynskey Titanium 29'r frame that can be built up as either a single speed or a geared bike.  The idea is to try and build it up as a single speed (mostly likely set up as a rigid frame).  More to come....
