I joined a local racing club
Picked up my kit last night. Tomorrow I am planning to join in on the training ride to see just how bad Im gonna get dropped.
I want to get faster and I figure this is as good as any way to do that. I like the tean kit too so thats a bonus.

Making a kilometer blurry
Congrats. You'll learn a lot, and before you know it, you'll be teaching new riders. Make sure to ask lots of questions, and learn how the fast guys train (the really fast guys).

Yeah well I like to be seen. We also do alot of riding around here in dense redwood forests so its good to be bright to make sure you are visable.

I may punish myself on the Diable Hill Climb. Other then that I dont have anything planned yet. Although I can race the club sponsored race for free if I volunteer to work, which I will. Only problem is thats the day after the Mt Tam century.
