Rest Day

So with no bike today it is time to catch up. Last week was good, on and off the bike. My job during the week is helping out my friend and fellow racer, Adrian Carter, who is a licensed contractor. It is nice having a boss that rides bikes since we decided to blow off work and ride 5:30 on Wednesday when it was 65 degrees. I also went on a team ride and got to meet a couple more guys that I will be racing with on the ITS Kane elite team next year. There will only be eight of us so it should be a tight knit group. I'll fill you in with all the team news soon.

Anyway, it's looking like more warm weather is on the way so I'm resting the legs and looking forward to logging major hours before leaving for Chicago to spend Christmas with the family. It will be a nice break to recharge physically and mentally for the final bit of training before racing begins.

Hopefully I will also be getting a new car this week. I totaled my trusted ride a couple weeks ago so a new vehicle is in the works. Maybe it was a blessing in disguise since it is allowing me to pick up a more racer friendly vehicle. Next year I will be a part of the seemingly endless line of wagons found in race parking lots.

For now I'll go back to figuring out what gear I need for next year and how I'm going to afford it all.
