We had a nice vacation up to the north woods on one of Minnesota’s fantastic lakes. The weather could have cooperated a bit more, but all in all it was a great time.
This has made the transition back to work all the more difficult. The malaise has been eased a bit by being in the midst of the cycling season. Locally here we have the Superweek races under way. And of course I am getting my daily dosage of Tour de France coverage. It’s been an entertaining spectacle as always no matter what the results. I am starting to find a bit of form myself, and coupled with my joining a new team locally I am motivated to better prepare for next season. Hopefully the weather will be a bit better next spring than it has been for the last two years. I will be racing the Chicago criterium this week-end and hope to improve on my ride from last week-end here in Evanston. I’m sure that the field will be just as strong, but I feel pretty good.
