Keep Talking

So, as everyone who reads this knows, I’ve kind of been on a hiatus from cycling over the past two years. Raced a lot, A LOT during the ‘06 season and had a pretty fantastic year by my standards. I feel like there is a lot more of where that came from and am digging to prepare mentally for the winter training months that are just ahead. Admittedly, it’s not my favorite part of bike racing, but one thing I definitely hate worse is coming into the season out of shape and getting my ass kicked.

The FFKR team has had a fantastic year and while I didn’t contribute, I’m really psyched that I’ve been able to be a part of it in whatever way I have been.  Anyway, to summarize this post, a few guys on the local scene like to talk, which is fine….I suppose it’s part of the game, although I don’t really like it much. But one comment I heard recently was, “I could beat your whole team using only one leg.” While this particular rider is strong, I don’t think he’s strong enough to be making those kinds of comments, but whatever it takes I suppose.

Regardless, every time I hear something like that (there are many more), it deepens that motivation to come back with a vengeance next year. See you on the road.
