Ciao '09!


All of a sudden, I haven't ridden in over a week. What the hell? Oh, right - it's December. I had ideas for a grandiose super-update, but the words just aren't coming. It's surprisingly difficult to think of goals for riding, or anything riding-related when there's a foot of snow outside and I haven't even looked at a bicycle in a week. Suffice to say, since my last update in October, I've logged some decent miles, but nothing truly epic (hence the lack of update). My last ride was a week ago from Friday, in the the Fells. It was..cold. Very cold. About 15 degrees. The great thing about it being that cold is that no one else goes out; I had zero hiker run-ins on the ride, something which I can't say about my previous foray into holier-than-thou place known as Middlesex Fells.

Goals for 2010:
-Upgrade to Cat 1 for MTB
-Do more Root 66 races
-Do a (preferably many) road race.
-Do a (preferably many) cross race.
-Get a new road bike.
-Get a powermeter that actually works, and use it to do structured intervals.

That's it for now...I'm sure I'll think of more. Did I mention there's a foot of snow outside? Time to buy a (better) trainer.
