Getting in Serious Shape!

Hey guys, I'm going to make this short and sweet. I'm a dher turned enduro turned road turned xc racer hahaha. What I'm trying to say is that I love riding bicycles doesn't matter what discipline it is. Now, I'm this is the 1st year where I am really getting serious about training, watching my diet, getting good sleep, trying to regulate my alcohol consumption etc. I just want to be the best cycling I can! I'd love to one day race in pro xc and do some awesome endurance events and really just push my body to its limit. I would classify myself as an above average mountain biker but I still have so much more to improve and I feel as If I've hit a wall in my training. I'm a young guy at 29, 6'4 tall and 190lbs. I live in chino hills but I'm willing to drive anywhere.

Is there anyone out there willing to help me achieve me goals?? Anyone want to train with me and push ourselves? This isn't a troll thread. Just an easy going, hard headed, persistent, goal setting mountain biker. CHEERS!!!!!

 

Join in on some of @Faust29 and @mtnbikej 's rides. You'll be in shape in no time.

Just be prepared to kick your own a$$.

Me? I no longer go that route..I ride, enjoy it, and sweat.

 

thanks runs with scissors

 

Throwing this over in health. Why? Because I can... and I'm bored to tears...

 

I'd like to say you've come to the right place, but IMTB doesn't have a whole lotta racers. And few of us watch our diet or alcohol consumption. Oh and many of us are almost twice your age...

However, riding with a few of the guys on this forum will push both your technical and endurance past logical limits. I am mostly referring to @mtnbikej @Faust29 and @mike , but there are many others on here who think nothing of 5000-10,000' of climbing in a day, and include technical descents in the mix to keep it spicy. And they often do it on hardtail singlespeeds. They are sick people. But very awesome to ride with.

Welcome! Hope to see you on the trails someday, although riding with me will not help you in any way.

 

And I'd you haven't already done so, check out the Ride Reports forum. Then Trailhead.

 

Thank you so much guys for your messages. I will be definitely joining you guys on a ride soon

 

@Mrtahiti80, welcome to a great place to share your love of pedaling!

I think herzalot pretty much covered what we're about here – social rides from sane to questionable I can't take any responsibility for your stats and fitness, but if you wanna mine for fun on singletrack missions in the OC Santa Anas, I'll be getting back to those soon. Emphasis on getting a little scared and a decent workout.

Cheers!

 

This is one of the misconceptions about me.....I'm not a racer, I am not fast...at least I don't think so.

However, I will pedal uphill nonstop til I blow your legs up....then let you recover for a minute before we start climbing again to rip your legs off. If there is anything left after that, we will continue to climb until you feel as though we put your legs through the meat grinder. It's a really fun day out on the mountain.

 

And this is what I really like about riding with you. The challenge of making it up the hill without making you wait too long.
