I am also excited for cycling season!! We hit 86 F today in Southern Marin Cty Ca. It was a gorgeous day for a ride and i did one with my wife that was spectacular!! I have some different goals this year with my cycling than in past years. I may have done my last race in October last year. Usually at this point I am humping it hard to get into race shape but in looking back at all the years of hard training, making sure my upper body atrophes and losing 5-7 lbs from my natural weight, I think I am finally older and wiser. This year I want to enjoy all my rides and do a few centuries and other fun rides where there is no stop watch. I am also pretty committed to not riding 6 days a week which has been the norm for me for years. 4 rides per week just sounds so much more civilized!!

Hoping everyone has a great season and some truly wonderful and breathtaking rides!!
