The season is upon us...

I can't believe it's only 6 weeks until Sea Otter. Gareth sent me my next 6 weeks of training yesteday and it was a reality check to see that Sea Otter is already in range!

This coming weekend will be a stage race simulation (sort of). Sat AM will kick off with a 30 minute hill climb TT test, followed by a couple loops at Southridge. Sunday AM Teri and I will be racing Ontario Crit. Good prep for San Dimas Stage Race coming up next month.

In reviewing the race schedule for 2006, April and July are shaping up to be some of the busiest race months. Keeping the right balance between racing, training, work, family, etc is going to be especially hard this year. It seems like every year just keeps getting busier (and with this year comes a new level of competition). Forunately I only have 1 wedding to attend this year so far, and any new babies of friends and family have already arrived or will arrive in the next few months.

Murphy is growing into a fine dog. He enjoyed his first bike race a few weeks ago at Boulevard (concentrating hard, as seen in this photo), and will probably be attending Ontario Crit as well. Greg is very happy with his new race companion!
