it's "go" time...

yea yea yea

I've been away from this blog thing. No excuses though. I'm just picking up where I left off, and moving forward (just like life and Cormac McCarthy's "The Road".

Everyone and their mother has this flu/cold/sinus infection thing right now. I'm staying home feeling rundown and hoping to kick this crap before it kicks me!

Which brings me back to my title - it's "go" time in Northern California cycling scene. Yes, it's February and that means time for the Tour of California. I cant wait! Hot Hot racing action - in what is forecasted to be another showery wintery February. The action starts on Saturday in Sacramento. Cant wait to watch!

This year - some Bay Area locals are again testing the Tour of CA action: read more here...

My first official race of the year was on January 4 - The Early Bird crit series. It was my first race after this whole elbow debacle, and it felt GREAT to be out racing again.

Training is ramping up, with my first official race at the end of this month. This year, four of my Cat 3 teammates and I hired a coach through Whole Athlete, and it's made all the difference in motivation for racing and training. We are having the time of our lives, commisserating together As Cat 3's we're riding 10-15 hours/week on top of our 40 hr/week jobs. Thats' committment for you!

More racing and hot hot action to come!
