SUMMER!!!

I think I was a bit too far forward.....

School is out, work is light (3 days a week, 6 hours a day is pretty schweet) and I am trying to ride as much as possible. The hard part is this week is the week of my first "big" race of the summer. Big meaning I go to Canada and try to race for 100km. I think that is like 60 American miles, but I haven't checked the exchange rate today. The race promoter likes to send emails that scare people, like recommending no one try the race on a bike without squish in the front and back, and also that no one try a single speed and that you should start the race with new brake pads. I have chosen to scoff at all these warnings, and race the single speed. We will see. Either way, I plan on being really sore next week.
Riding in VT continues to be good, when it isn't pouring, but the trails are drying out pretty quick and the options for people to ride with are increasing everyday. Hopefully a 12 hour race in Presque Isle, aka East bum fizzle, will materialize and that would be interesting.
