Only a few days now until the start of my 2010 cycling season. I'm still getting plenty nautical miles in on the surfboard, but have been training my ass off too. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday are reserved for 100% cycling, Monday and Friday are reserved for recovery days from the bike, and ventures out into the ocean. Weekends have been a mix of 3-5hrs of riding in the morning followed by 2-3hrs of surfing, food, then serious nap time! The result... I feel stronger than ever and probably starting the race season more lean than ever before.

This coming Sunday is the Makaha Time Trial, where I'm hoping to put my new weapon to good effect - I picked up a Scott Plasma Limited from Momentum Multisport on Waialae Ave, who also happen to be the shop sponsor of my new team "BME Racing". I was close to racing unattached in 2010, but after a fortunate chain of events, a team has come to fruition. The "title sponsor" is Bavarian Motor Exports, hence the "BME Racing" name. Other sponsors include Hele (Wireless Broadband Internet), Momentum Multisport, and Honu Group. We've got a really good group of about 15 guys and will be a pure cycling team.

I've already put in a couple hundred miles on the Scott Plasma, and even a few miles into the first ride it felt perfect. I liked my last bike a lot, but the Scott's geometry just feels perfect. Weird thing is that I went from riding a 51cm TT bike to a 47cm Scott. The design is pretty neat too... Lots of great well thought out features, and by the comments from last weekend's group ride, a lot of people hate it - It's kinda of fast and hard to chase! It's difficult to cruise around on it... Going fast is what it's designed for! I'll post up some photos in the next few days.
