Not totally giving in yet

So, Mountain bike racing is still on the mind but it's not there in a good way. Work has not given me much ability to get racing in. My shop is really busy so I don't get to take to many weekends off. This week is and was a hard training week in an attempt to do something I have been excited about for a while, race well at the Pro XCT. The next day will see me more then likely driving back to Minnesota to race in mankato so that I don't get much farther behind in the series. The weekend will be tough. After that can't say when I will be able to race again. Maybe Redwing?
As of right now that is the focus for the short term but Long term I'm gearing up for Cyclocross. I will be starting the season in cat. 4 so a quick move up to cat. 3 is what I hope to do, and maybe a shot at a national title in cat. 3. Wishful thinking!

Now I just need to get my bike!

Afton

Tough course to say the least... 23rd overall, 6Th in my age group. I was somewhere in the 10Th to 15Th area when for about half the race then a lack of food and training caused a major bonk.

I'm hoping to get to the next race but it could be hard with work.
