I ushered in the New Year on Monday with a 2.5 hr trainer ride. Big ring starting in the 19 and then 16. This wasn't a structured ride other than keeping a good solid tempo and putting miles in the legs.

Today, the legs had a little fatigue early but were good by noon and I went to Spinning tonight. Class was warm again and my bike's tension control was rather sensitive. I left a good puddle of sweat.

In the Pro ranks, Saunier Duval's new signee, Iban Mayo, announced a change in his race program for '07. Instead of racing the Dauphine Libere, he will ride the Giro for the first time in preparation for his mid-race Tour de France abandonment. Go Iban!!!
