I turned 62 a few days ago ... another milestone reached, and I'm now officially "social security age." The only logical way to celebrate the birthday was to hook up with a group of friends and go hammer through a hard ride. The route was a local ride called Burma Road, a nice ride that has some good short steep hills in the middle. After 2 1/2 hours and 46 sweat-drenched miles, I convinced myself that, even though I can't hang with the kids anymore, I'm still able to roll down the road at a decent pace.
For me, the "real" cycling season is about to begin. Although I ride my cyclocross bike a lot all year, I start to feel energized when the weather gets cooler, CX races show up on the schedule, and I get to enjoy those rare days when it's grey, overcast, and muddy. More on CX season in an upcoming post, but for now ... it's clinic time so we can introduce a few more people to the sport. Check out the links below, and then scroll down to the clinic flyer.
