Vision Quest Preview

It was a beautiful day of mountain biking (and a little snow hiking at the top). Overall the route is in great shape except for the snow at the top.
2009 Season Preview
Working and riding doesn't leave much time for posting, but here we go!
The first significant race of the 2009 season is about to take place next weekend at round one of the US Cup Series at Bonelli Park outside of LA. For me this will be a good chance to finish my endurance training with a big effort and start getting ready for the big races to come in April.
A top 10 series result for the Pro Tour series (http://www.usacycling.org/news/user/story.php?id=3963 ) is my main goal of the season. A good day at Nationals in Colorado, and possible trip to Canada are on the list as well.
I’ll be riding privateer style without a true team, but thanks to Trek and Cytosport for their support so far this year. Also look for more promotion of World Bicycle Relief.
Look for updates at least weekly throughout the rest of the season!
