My schedule depends on our daughter's schedule to a large extent and also that of my wife's work. I'll have to work around those restrictions but should be able to get out for a couple rides here and there. I doubt I'll be looking to minimize my times at any event next year as I probably won't have the time to train for that kind of riding. I have no targeted rides at this time. I don't know how people with younger kids can find the time to ride enough to post the faster times at these events. When I trained with a coach, it was very stressful to get the workouts in while also attending to family. I had to give it up, and I have a very supportive wife. I just felt guilty putting me or my workouts first.

So, I hope I can ride often, find time to ride long, and have a good season. I'm sure I'll do many of the standard rides I've done in the past.
