Back in the Swing, 24-7

I got back from England a couple of weeks ago and have been trying to get in the swing of training, back at work, etc. I was welcomed back to the States with yet another cold that is still holding onto me after two weeks. I'm finally catching my breath these days, but not without a bit of a struggle to do so...

Sitting in Minnesota right now waiting for my flight back to Denver to leave this afternoon. Spent the past couple of days hanging out in the Twin Cities and working with Team Strong Heart in our preparations for the 2007 RAAM. We got together this past weekend and rode for 24 hours with our team and with Bill our main crewman and tech guru. The riding was fun and I came out the other end with minimal damage and fatigue despite my condition going in and riding with the team. Although the rides out in Boulder are absolutely amazing and fruitful (usually) it was great to get out here and ride in my old stomping ground near Stillwater, Scandia, etc. Colorado is an amazing state but part of my heart (and sweat) stays in Minnesota.

Next up is a crit back in Golden, CO this upcoming weekend and more training...looking forward to the next phase of training, including ramping up to the serious miles and races this spring and some new gear (bike, clothing, etc.) from the team I race for back in CO...www.gsciao.com.

Stay tuned and keep the rubber side down...
