training ...


So the addiction has now been discovered. i want to race MTB. and with all the research i am now of the understanding i really need to pull my finger out and start training so i am going to set a few goals, they won't be much for now but a plans a plan and i am pretty sure i will stick to it.
so.

i need a road bike. i know with the less than none excess amount of cash we have lying around it is going to be tight and it won't be easy to get one but i will. it will be a shit box - but i will build it up and am hoping to eventually swap everything out to make what ever it is a nice retro racer (see the repco)... but why do i need a racer? to ride to work once a week. even though it is only 89km it will be enough to get the training level up. coupled with every day bar thursday to the station i should start to get some serious strength, endurance levels up.
so the goals are pretty simple and are as follows
1. ride to work minimum of once a week
2. build/buy and old skool bike and build it up to a decent retro racer
3. finish the designs for blackmans and approach about contra for the site build 
4. compete in a couple more of the WSMTB races at yellomundee


i intend on fixing up scottie next week so he is again able to be ridden MTBing with the possibility of a trip to the city each week until i source the roadie.
