Getting Back On It

I'm trying to get back on my training schedule. I fell off last week with bad weather and work stresses. It's been tough this week as well due to our summer rain pattern. It's frustrating to have a beautiful sunny day and then literally one hour before we head for home, the dark clouds roll in. By the time I get half way home, it's raining. Cycling is hard enough with traffic, but I don't like to compound the risk by riding in the rain. Last night was the same. I ended up riding the trainer. Although I know the benefit is there, I still would rather be out on the bike.

Our mountain bike race schedule has been posted and it looks like an interesting season. There are some new courses on the schedule. Some I've never ridden and some I know very well. We start in Gainesville which I'm happy about. I usually do well on that course. 

The new frame for this year is in and it looks better then I had hoped. I'll post pictures once it is built up but I'm waiting for a new fork. I don't want to build it with the old one and then have to take the front end off to re-do it once it comes in. I'm hoping final weight will be sub 23 lbs.
