Welcome!
Ok, I have no idea why anyone would want to know about my cycling this year, but this blog is here to enable just that -- provide those who might be interested with a window into my riding and touring.
My official "start" is tomorrow (Saturday) when I leave for desert training camp in Arizona. 4 weeks of cold mornings, hot afternoons, windy mountain climbs, and about 8 hours a day on a bicycle.
Right about now, I'm regretting my less-than-aggressive dieting over the holiday season. I'm going into camp about 20 pounds heavier than I had planned on. Losing weight at camp will just make it all that much more painful. My current plan is to try and maintain my weight for the first week, then slowly start dropping the calories. Odds are, however, that I will have a difficult time eating enough during the first week. I'm not used to riding back-to-back long days -- especially 30 of them.
In any event, I will probably change my weight management strategy after speaking with the coaches...

If you build it, they will come.
Wow. Well I might be a bike-nerd but I actually am QUITE interested to read about your travels. So write, write... and Ride Ride! for those of us stuck behind a desk who would rather be out there, losing those pounds, battling the elements and living for the open road :0) Give my love to the Lady Roe of Meyerland.
