August

I have been racing bikes from March to December for many years, and although I love it I have wanted to scale back a bit and not feel like I have to race every weekend. Ultimately this will be better for the family and the form. So I took the opportunity after BC to get healthy again and then not race. I am feeling good now and have 2 solid weeks of training in. I wanted to race the final I-cup but decided to withstand the temptation and try to break myself for good.

I had a great weekend of training and then spent some time with the kids at the pool, kind of nice not to drag the family to a race for an all day deal. In the coming years I hope to do less racing overall but more quality events that I can prepare for. This will be more flexible for the family life and ultimately better racing.

August is going to busy as we are heading to Hawaii this afternoon and then Peru at the end of the month for some stage racing. Also hope to put together a good PCPP race in early September.

Going to ride some volcanoes!
