My last blog I wrote said that I have been making some improvements but I didn't specify them!  Sorry about that.  I am right now in Sunny California working with my coach Chuckie V.  Today was a bike test on the computrainer. I don't have the numbers but Chuckie V. may have then on his blog. Anyway, the BIGGEST improvement that I have noted thus far - and I think a lot, if not all has to do with the use of the Powercranks is efficiency!  My pedalling outside feels so much smoother than when it did lastyear.  Yesterday was my first day outside for 4 months - and it felt great!  Chuckie writes a good blog about efficiency and its importance here: http://chuckiev.blogspot.com/2008/01/on-attitude-efficiency-ef.html .  I am going to be lazy and let you read it from there because well, he writes 100x better than I ever will!
