Racing

It's time to start looking at races for the 2007 season. Both JJ and I will be racing in the Team Bikeman.com colors this year, but still throwing down with the Team Weak and Feeble mindset at the same time. A1 and I are looking at going down to Tennessee in April for our first "hundie" on mountain bikes. I'm most likley looking at this as a SS race and I'm hoping to do most of the season (dirt at least) on a SS. We'll see how that works out. I'm not sure about some of the shorter races but for the endurance stuff a SS seems like a fun choice.

Still waiting for winter to really show up. It's cold so the ski areas are throwing down quality snow but the XC areas are hurting. They've got some terrain open but it's a bit dicey. Another few inches and they should be looking a whole lot better.

I finally got out and lifted with A1 this morning at 6am, did legs- and they hurt. But hopefully this will be a worth while process to strengthen my legs a bit and also help out my lower back. Time will tell.

That's it at this point more to come.

2007

The new year is upon us, and if you follow the team blog you'll see we haven't had much of a winter as of yet. The TWAF crew has been out on the bikes a whole lot more then skis!

I'm ready to get out and ski. The girls are anxious, the oldest is at ski program today and the youngest will be itching to get out. At least they're making snow!

2007- wow, I remember when we were all in a panic that when the clock struck midnight on December 31, 1999 that we were going back into the stone age- guess that didn't happen! Now we're closer to 2010 then 2000 and we've got more technology coming our way then we know what to do with. Five years ago I didn't own a cell phone and I still owned cassettes and a CD player in my car was a luxery. Now it's iPod's, cell phones, navigation systems in the car and Apple just came out with the iPhone that puts more tech in my pocket then they had when Return of the Jedi hit theaters.

Not sure where that line of thinking was going....

Anyway, hoping for snow, dreaming of new Salsa frames, looking at a race schedule for next year and wondering what's for dinner tonight.
