Clutch...shift...release...

Wow...more than a year since the last post?  That's just crazy...

At the time (early 2011) I was focused on track and IC3 juniors.   Now, I'm a retired track racer and have replaced my track bike with a used mountain bike.  I've rediscovered my youth and dirt skills from the BMX days of my teenager-dom :P

I blame Jon and Todd.  Or give them credit, depending on how you look at it.

What's really cool is that MTB is making me a stronger roadie, and the road rides have me to the point that I can do 3 hours on trails full-bore and still have some in the tank.  Cross-training is a good thing.   I wonder what would happen if I actually hit the weight room once in a while...

As far as the IC3 juniors, almost all of them have either moved up to the Matrix junior team (congrats to them!), or are moving out of state.  I only have 2 left...very sweet girls that are just beginning their cycling careers :)

I've quit fighting the beltline...I'm hovering at 170 when I should be 155-160, and I'm ok with it.  If I lose some, great...but I'm not going to try to force it anymore.  If I see 175 I'll pay more attention...

I don't feel 43, which I am, so that is a good thing.

Ride safe folks.
