This year has been off to a slow start as a cyclist. Just over a thousand miles in, mostly road and gravel. I may have under 5 rides in on my Raijin since I changed it over to a single speed. Family and work have taken precedent. That is not a bad thing. Winter kind of sucked the motivation out of me this year.

I have just returned from a week on St. Thomas and am stoked to get back to a proper training plan, whatever that means for a guy with a three year old and a two year old, lol!


I need a plan and hoped to work on that while sitting on the sandy beaches, but a few too many Heineken slowed me down a bit mentally. That's okay though. I came up with a goal to try and get to 190 lbs and kiss the Clydesdale class goodbye. It's going to take a lot of work and mental dedication. 20 lbs seems like a lot, but just a few life adjustments could get me there. Only time will tell. Wish me luck and send positive vibes my way. Time to go to work!
