When I was 26, I would jokingly refer to my bike as the CWM (Cross Wind Missile). I'm not 26 anymore...

About Me

My name is Dean Russell and I raced road bikes and some track endurance in the 1990s. I stopped racing in 1999 when I was 26. After almost thirteen years of being a lazy slug I decided to put my sorry backside onto a bike seat and have another crack at racing. This blog chronicles my journey from being completely unfit and overweight to becoming one of the oldest Elite A grade riders in Queensland...and then slipping nicely back into Masters racing.

Strava Base Mile Blast

It is interesting that Strava run a base mile competition during the month of January, which aligns almost perfectly with my base phase. I am currently in week 7 of an 8 week phase. I am actually doing okay on the Strava challenge, sitting in 8th place of 27, 468. I'm hoping to stay on the first page by the end of January. My 6 weeks so far have been 500 km, 610 km, 620 km, 760 km, 660 km and 880 km. I have two weeks left and am aiming to do 2 x 1,000 km weeks. It is AWESOME to get these miles in my legs. I am feeling really good! Can't wait for the upcoming road season.
