It's January...

And still I find myself thinking a lot about cross. Yes there is certainly skiing (both tele, and skating) to keep me occupied, but still. Folks asking about natz. Making the jump is going to be big. I may need to look into to some more serious training and coaching...I really want next season to be a competitive one, I want to be realistic, but I also know I have a lot of room to improve with some structured training. Gotta just commit to set aside some $. Something to think about.

Been getting on the trainer fairly regularly, I think I will bust out the rollers too, just to mix it up. Tonight rode the trainer with some teammates which was a welcome change. It's great to have folks to laugh and suffer with. Thanks guys.

Ruth got a cross bike and we have gotten out for one road ride while it wasn't too windy or icy, but I let her borrow all my warm gear and we didn't make it too far before I froze, just a mt washington loop. The bike seems to fit great and she did well and had a good time...she was definitely more comfortable than me. We'll get her into sunnyside for a proper fit one of these days before the weather turns warm.

Got my garage all dialed in. Ski tuning, bike tuning, tools all set up, bikes hung, good spot for a trainer/rollers and a fan, music, tv/dvd... It's nice!
