Just a reminder: each week and each day is a chance to start fresh on your training plan, your diet, your relationships, your life. Don’t let last year’s, or last week’s, or yesterday’s screwups own you today. Let ‘em go and ride today’s ride.

D2 Shoe Appreciation Day
(at least at our household)…
The finest things I have ever slipped onto my feet.

Road season is upon me.
How can I tell? Tonight in an unplanned adventure, the CX bike, and three sets of wheels were stripped of cassettes (11-23, 11-25 and 11-25) and duly sent to the basement for the remainder of the season until September, that is.
