Well needless to say It did not go well for me or lots others. The weather once again played a huge factor this year. The weird thing was that it was hot, for the first time ever! AS we stood on the start line Chuck Jenkins told me that it was 95 degrees.<br /><br />Cutting to the chase I am bummed to say that the heat totally kicked my butt! I pulled out after just one lap due to the fact that my body was freaking out and I was not even sweating!<br /><br />Oh well time to focus on the next race!<br /></div>Robert Herberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15429368164563345109noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1068786654510108868.post-57088711788613215622009-04-15T23:45:00.000-07:002009-04-15T23:55:23.227-07:00The Otter!<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_kkUdKZGYjLk/SebV8ctxYZI/AAAAAAAAAQc/mOayiw9jqdM/s1600-h/fontana+national09.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 302px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_kkUdKZGYjLk/SebV8ctxYZI/AAAAAAAAAQc/mOayiw9jqdM/s400/fontana+national09.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325178843889230226" border="0" /></a>Little Whip, Fontana 2009<br />Photo Credit: Justin Mann, Thanks bro for capturing the fun!<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Its finally time to go to the race that is usually raining or howling winds.

Let go!!!!<br /></div>Robert Herberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15429368164563345109noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1068786654510108868.post-8595387148770770352009-04-08T21:07:00.001-07:002009-04-08T21:25:52.284-07:00Hitting the Gym<div style="text-align: center;">Well ok I have not been hitting it bit it has been good. With the watchful eye of <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://dixonart.com/">Bill Dixon</a> my title sponsor looking over my every move in the gym its been great. Exhausting but great! Today was another great workout and is really improving my strength! Right after the Gym I head to ITT to test my legs on the 12 mile climb and had a phenomenal time! I was stoked even though it was freezing cold and raining on me up there. I had to stop 3 times just to get the feeling back in my hands. I could not even tell if I was touching the brakes until I would almost go over the front!<br /><br />Well back to the Gym and the training, it has been great and I know that it has helped my recovery from my cracked rib a lot. I felt stronger than I ever have at <span style="font-weight: bold;">Fontana PRO XCTour</span> last weekend. I managed to make a descent finish of being called up almost last! So where to go from here? Well the Gym of course, even though most would argue with that opinion. Riding in the dirt requires a lot more strength than our friends of the skinny tire sorts. With the races that are planned for this year I know that I can use all of the strength I can get. Notice I said strength not bulk.<br /><br />See you on the trails and hopefully proving that this weight traing works!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_kkUdKZGYjLk/Sd13QOz0sWI/AAAAAAAAAQU/OyE6ZewWY-Y/s1600-h/IMG_3171CROP.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_kkUdKZGYjLk/Sd13QOz0sWI/AAAAAAAAAQU/OyE6ZewWY-Y/s400/IMG_3171CROP.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322541455358865762" border="0" /></a><br /></div>Robert Herberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15429368164563345109noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1068786654510108868.post-56543624114540974182009-04-07T10:58:00.000-07:002009-04-07T11:06:26.775-07:00New flyer and Summer race dates<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kkUdKZGYjLk/SduV6u6FGkI/AAAAAAAAAQM/U8TESttx6ps/s1600-h/Spring+Summer+Shootout+Series+Flyer+E+copy.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 309px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kkUdKZGYjLk/SduV6u6FGkI/AAAAAAAAAQM/U8TESttx6ps/s400/Spring+Summer+Shootout+Series+Flyer+E+copy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322012220924959298" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">The summer race dates are finally here!

This is not the most painful injury that I have had but still its annoying to not be able to ride the bike. <br /><br />Good news is that my race bike is almost done being painted and I can't wait to see it! That also means that I can build up my training bike finally and be able to get them both rolling!<br /><br />Lastly if you have been to the either the last Fontana or the US Cup you probably got this flyer on your vehicle. It is something that my Dad is working on but it is the real deal! I have been using it for a while now and it has greatly improved my bike handling skills. It makes me feel so much more solid and takes away some of the guess work of what lines to pick! It truly is a great thing and you should totally give it a try!!<br /><br />Lastly I am really stoked to say that the last US Cup race was tremendous! It was so great to see almost 700 racers out there! I am glad to see what seems to be a surge in mountain biking again. Great work to all that were involved and awesome job to all that raced!Robert Herberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15429368164563345109noreply@blogger.com1
