My First Rouge
by Pat Fresneda
I had been training with Kenny and just after he sent out a "Rouge Roubaix Peaking Plan", I came down with a vicious stomach virus last Thursday night. Well, instead of doing his training on Friday, I stayed home and finally held down 2 pieces of toast and a banana. Not following the plan already. I also missed Sunday's Northshore ride with my riding buddies, Rolan and Steve. The whole week I did not feel normal and on Tuesday's levee ride, I went to the back to hide as I felt weak.
