2008 was a mixed bag - I had both my first serious injury (crash in April that broke two fingers and put me off the bike for almost 6 weeks) and my first organized race (2 low-key hillclimbs). I put 4000 miles on my della santa and 3000 on my Jamis, almost all of whch was on my 40 mile round trip commute...it stacks up fast! I climbed Hamilton 3 times and Tantalus (in Honolulu) once. Jen and I got into tandeming and have put about 150 miles on the co-motion so far.

Next years goals are to avoid injury, tandem lots, and try to get faster on the climbs. The LK series and getting the tandem made me decide not to attempt to race. To me it's just not worth the time investment away from my family, plus I apparently suck a lot more than I thought
