First things first, I am down 15 pounds since the first of the year. That is good. Still working on it, but I know you are tired of hearing about that...so I will move on and let you know what my plans are for this year.
Not sure if you know or not, but I am a member of Custer Cyclery/Territorial Brewing Company/Giant Bicycles/Kong Coolers Mountain bike race team. A mouthful for sure, but that is how we roll......get it....roll.

Now onto the season. I am signed up for 3 races already along with the MMBA Championship Point series. My plan is to race and finish early in the season, then come on strong towards the end of the season. Here is my tentative schedule:
Lowell 50 (signed up)
Barry Roubaix (signed up)
Yankee Springs (signed up)
Fort Custer
Island Lake XC
Hanson Hills
TK Lawless
Sweat Shaker
Holland 100 (not a race)
Big M
Ore to Shore (maybe)
Glacial Hills
Maybury
Addison Oaks
Lord of the Springs
Pontiac Lake (if needed)
I won't be doing all of these, but the first 5 weeks of the season has 4 events. 2 Gravel and 2 MMBA races will keep me moving for the next 5 weeks until I toe the starting line again.
So, the last ride of February will land me ahead of January in mileage. Not enough miles, but solid miles none the less. I do plan to ride Yankee and a Barry Roubaix this weekend to really start enjoying this early spring. In these early races I might not be very competitive. I might finish DFL. I just need to see what I am capable of and get my mind set right. I haven't raced in over a year. The way I look at it...I will be out there...hanging out with friends....working to get faster, fitter, better.
If you are headed to Melting Mann keep an eye out for the team.
Get out and ride! See you on the trails.
