I find myself just now biting into the thick of it. As I nibbled around the edge looking for a softer way to the center I left this blog untouched. But now that’s over. I always find myself envious of the folks that can post daily of even bi-weekly their thoughts and travails. I’d love to make it a goal and bring this blog from simply being, more or less, a race journal and actually put up more varied subject matter.
Anyway. Let me just say that I still love racing. Last weeekend’s races of Granogue and Wissahickon left me wanting more and more chances to validate myself on the bike. Saturday was essentially sledding with your bike down mudslides of hilarious proportions. I watched race after race of strings of riders cascading down step, off camber hills fighting to stay on their bikes.
Is it unfair to my present place in time to be so wistfully looking forward to next year? So much is already on deck in my mind. Here in Philly there is the series of rides known as the Spring Classics. Set up twenty or so years ago, the three rides that comprise the series make up the distance of La Primavera; Milan San Remo. There is talk of making a well-timed trip to Gainesville, Fl for a February race. Then there’s the highlight of each year that for the past two years has proven to be one of the best things that I have gotten myself involved with; the 2010 schedule of rides to do with my compatriots in the Rapha Continental.
But I am ahead of myself. It’s not like I am wont for things to do here in time and in the soon to come future. Next weekend I embark on a trip to a couple of New England cross race: Canton Mass and Putney Vermont. Neither are UCI races, but both are staples in the schedules of many who enjoy racing. I will be taking the trip with some stellar company which I’m pretty sure will rival the fun of the races themselves.
I’ll post more often, I promise.
Anyway, let’s look at some photos.
