    Are we ever going to catch a break?

    Seems like the rain and wind is non-stop this year! I might have to invest in a trainer before too long. Has all the rain and wind messed with your biking or training at all this year?

    For some reason, I like going uphill on a bike. I like it in hiking too. Even if it beats the crap out of me in the process. Downhill freaks me out though, if I go too fast, I need to work on that one.

    How was the Glen Vegas Race?

    That's crazy man. I wonder if it's a nutrition thing.

    What's your biggest cycling weakness?

    Mine is speed. I need to get faster. I never group ride because I can never keep up with the group. I think I need to focus on getting faster this year. How about you all? What's your biggest cycling weakness and do you plan to ever overcome it?

    Cotton Crochet Cycling Gloves

    Every time I've went barehanded, the shock makes my hands hurt, especially mountain biking.
