It's Been Awhile, and It's Been Wet.

It's been over a month since i got sick, and i finally am feeling better, but slow. This spring is turning out to be wetter and colder than last year's. i don't mind this, I actually enjoy the rain. And roots. Roots are my favorite variable terrain to ride on, and when they are wet it is even more fun.

Pretty excited for this weekend at Tymor downstate, the forecast calls for rain, and it is rocky, so hopefully i can beat some people that are in better shape, but hate the rain.

Despite being a bit paranoid about my derailleur hanger, which i bent last week and haven't yet got a replacement for, i am very prepared for breakdowns. Two extra tubes, two big air co2 cartridges, and a chain tool with a master link taped to it, and a UST tire in the rear at 40psi. Qualifying for nationals this weekend should be easy.

Hopefully it is, as the price of going to all the races Corey and i planned on going to it high, and we are rethinking them for local ones, and perhaps saving the out of town trips for the two nationals in July.

Race report and pictures to come after Sunday!

So how did you do at Tymor? I raced in beginners (after 2 years of sport class)and finally won a race! I felt bad until I got the swag... Cool blog, love the ride across NY post, Sounds like a blast- you are definitely a hard core psyclist.
