Winter Blues

It's Sunday morning and I'm getting ready to cross train in the form of shoveling snow. Spring riding seems a long way off today. More snow, high temperatures of 13, and the fact that I'm wearing my Bianchi beanie (purchased at Revolution Cycles and a great Christmas gift) in doors while I write this are all subtle reminders that I may have to ride the trainer again today. No, please no!!!

To take my mind off the weather I've been checking out the WSBA and OBRA calendars, and charting the racing season. I'm planning to kick off the season as usual with the Jack Frost Time Trial in Vancouver on February 22nd. They've added a circuit race the day before, maybe I'll jump in on that so I don't have to do a training ride that day. The following weekend is the first of Mason Lake and the ice breaker time trial. If you are interested in racing this year please let me know. We'll be scheduling a gathering of racers to go over the calendar and set some team priorities.

Until the roads clear enjoy the snow, we just don't have a choice.
