it's not really going now...i am just a Cat 5 with 3 races done...but i am training like crazy right now and we have a team out of San Diego that is about 4-5 of us. The season starts in January...so just training until then. The guys say that i am getting pretty strong so we'll see....I have my doubts...but the guys i ride with are super strong. Ben my best friend and teamate is a frieght train and arguably one of the top 2 or 3 fastest Cat 5's....not that Cat 5 is a big deal but he consistanly finishes in the top 10 now that he's a 4...
can't wait for january...
are you racing this year?

I can sprint, so I would do well on crits, but I dont think I'd fare so well on RR

Um... a whopping 1.6 miles. I headed out in the wind around 2pm and promptly got smacked by a large branch. Turned around and came right home. It took me longer to get into my bike clothes than it did to ride.

I'm still layed up sick in bed today. This is the sickest I've been in YEARS! I think the worst is over, but no way I am riding Sunday, and the Temecula wine tour tomorrow is probably out too (stomach is just too tender still). My wife is going to be VERY disappointed about that!

I had a blast today, riding into a headwind never felt so good.
18mph, 182HR, getting blown side to side...it just felt good!

Just got home. I'm stressed and tired. I guess I'll pack for visiting my parents tomorrow rather than doing so tonight.

Same here, but in my case I'll defer prep'ing my bike for tomorrow's ride until... well, tomorrow.
I'm not really that busy at work in the sense of working around the clock, etc. that I sometimes do. But for some reason I just feel pretty stressed out.

I had a five hour brainstorming meeting with two coworkers this afternoon. My brain hurts.

well, I was awakened rudely at 4:30 to go outside and find out why the neighbor's little dog was yapping uncontrollably. Mind you, this is an ongoing thing. Nothing was wrong with the dog as usual and I was told..."just go back to bed". By now it's 5:00am and I am pretty much awake...oh well, just another lost hour of sleep..
