I did the Tour de Moore this weekend and am glad to be back racing. My goal was to survive and get the system shocked back into racing. I was able to hold on till half a lap to go and was pleased with that seeing how we had 60+ in the Field and some heavy hitters at that. We split the Field and I came in around 30 or so. Yesterday I wasn't sure how the body was going to react and hit the local group ride. I got in 4 hours and was one of the two strongest guys out there. With that kind of performance I think my training will be good. My next race will be Highland rim classic which is all hills. It will be a training race so there is not any pressure. Then the Tour of ATL which I hope to do well in.
This weekend I am on call and we will be spending the day with the Scouts Sat. at a Boy scout camp. That will be a good time for sure and hopefully the rain will hold out.

ION Classic in the books
What a good weekend. I got to meet and greet the team, get my kits, and have team pictures Friday. Sat. I worked a corner for two races and drove the pace car for the rest of the day. Sun. I got to announce the race for the first half of the day. The weather was beautiful and the racing went good with over 300 riders. It was a long weekend but well worth it. This weekend I am headed to the Tour de Moore to race. It has been 6 weeks and I have to get serious now if I am going to make to nationals.
Shawn is still doing good and glad to see the spring coming. He made the A/B honor roll so mom and I could not be more proud. Kellie is solid as usual and trying to keep up with Shawn and I. The cat is still getting in 22 hours a day in the bed, so all is well.

Breaking the rules
The doctor never clarified how long I am suppose to wait to ride again. So technically there is a lot of grey area, right? I have been on the trainer doing a lot of tempo riding and hit the road this weekend for about 6 hour without any problems. Dave and Alex came up to go backpacking and got snowed out but hung out at the house putting the smack down on the video games with Shawn. My new training bike(aerocat) came in yesterday and I rode it on the computrainer last night. It feels pretty stiff so we will see. We may go camping this weekend which will give me an opportunity to do tempo rides up 276. For now back to work.
