Thursday night I don’t believe I will be out riding.  I’ve decided that I am going to attend a cycling seminar presented by Jim Cunningham and Stephen Keiser, M.D.  Maybe I might be able to learn something off the bike, seeing how I can be pretty slow trying to learn on it.

Why don’t you join me on Thursday, August 13 at 522 N. Church St., Greenville SC 29601? It is the Criminal Law Building located behind the Bi-Lo Center.  Don’t worry, there is plenty of free parking on the premises.

There are two sessions – the first (starting at 6:30 PM) by Dr. Keiser is a PowerPoint presentation followed by a discussion and questions and answers.  I probably need to go to this one since it will be covering “Common cycling injuries and their care.”  The way my body is feeling now days, that would be a good one!

However, it is the second session with Jim Cunningham that interests me the most.  It is a similar presentation structure, but the topic will be “Criterium racing and its skills” as well as “Bike selection and set up for Criterium racing” and “Training specifically for Criterium racing.”  With all the crits we do around here, it seems like you basically HAVE TO attend this session.

I’ll be following up this session with a visit with Jim to go over my power files for the last year.  I am evaluating whether it would do me good to enlist his help as a coach for my 2010 season.  I feel I have reached a plateau with what I am able to pull out of myself.  I’m thinking I’m going to need someone else to come along to squeeze anything more out of this lemon.

Still, this session will be a good start.  Why don’t you join me?
