You all are making me tired just thinking about ridding in all these events.

If get them done then I'll have 50. I'd like to do my 50th on the Grand Tour, it was my first. As I look at the dates circled on the calander for these doubles I just............. "what am I thinking"! I did 8 in '10 and I was tired, now I've scheduled 9 for '11 in just a 19 week span, should I start writing my epitaph.

No worries Dante, I know you can do it!

I just got kicked off of Camino Real by a business trip to the U.K. so my 50th will be Spring Solvang (hopefully), or if that one goes all wrong then Hemet. Whatever, as long as I get #50 before Knoxville, no problem. If I get into good climbing shape I may try Devil Mountain.

Or not. I don't seem to be very motivated at the moment . . . maybe that will change.

2011 goals...2011 events...2010 accomplishments... I feel like I am reporting to the board of directors of my old company.

Events for 2011.

I plan a similar number of races that I did last year with some modifications.

Track:

1. Train at the track (Hellyer Velodrome) once per week.
2. Participate in the LAVRA Cup series at LA Velodrome in Carson, CA. This is a series of 6 races consisting of an omnium and timed events.
3. Compete in the Masters State and National Championships

Road:

1. Compete in the Berkeley Hills Team Time Trial with my wife but riding TT bikes versus the tandem.
2. Compete in the Beat the Clock time trial series.
3. Compete in the Mount Diablo Hill Climb.
4. Compete in the Calavaras ITT, and the Altamount TTT

PBP (Paris-Brest-Paris) and all the necessary qualifying rides. And maybe the Portland-Glacier 1000k just for giggles. That should keep me busy thru August.
