Happy 2011! After a long holiday break filled with Mom's home cooking, I feel rested, restored, and rejuvinated (not to mention about 6lbs heavier). I'm excited to start building on my base cycling fitness from the past 6 months and turn all my training attention to RAAM. I did manage to get in a little cross training while in Minnesota in the form of shoveling snow off the roof of two houses but my legs miss the 'round and 'round motion of cycling. So after capping off a 350 mile week just before Christmas, it's time to get busy!
