Restart and Rebuild

So I just finished a ride on the trainer and went to input my ride data into an online training log that I've been using for years.  On a whim I decided to click on the link that displays the entire months ride data on a calendar.  Much to my horror I was confronted with the fact that today(the 23rd of December) was only my 8th ride this month.  Following this I selected the link to display the previous months information and saw that I only rode 11 time the entire month on November.  On the positive side of things I have been running so at least I've been staying active but with riding this little I am having a real identity crisis.  I pride myself on riding long and often but life and holidays and cold weather have been getting in the way.  I guess it's time to start rebuilding now.  Oh what fun it is to ride.......................

What a year!

2010 has been quite a year for biking.  I've done a ton or racing but my blogging about the races and bike maintenance have really suffered.  I started racing in January because I was trying to get in a race every month.  Everything was going according to plan until I managed to wreck my car off of the road while traveling to the December race and my goal was cut short.  I work the rest of the weekends this month so I won't be making it to any unless a miracle occurs.  It has been a really good year.  Thanks to all who have helped it happen.
