so long afternoon sun, hello morning chill

42F is truly the wake up call everyone should experience. as i roll out of my garage with my additional clothing options: leg warmers, long sleeve winter jersey with arm warmers on top, thermal booties, thermal vest and long fingered gloves, i am reminded that even bundled up you still feel the 42F.

coffee, hot shower and two hours later, i'm still feeling the chill on my body. i really enjoy these morning rides, less cars, less people, just me and the bike and the forty degree morning air.

racing in late fall

workouts, cold air, dark afternoons and the weekend race with the club. had good power numbers and most importantly finished mid-pack with ease, if i really wanted to move up i knew i had the reserve to do so.

back to the race, did a few efforts, worked with a few team mates learned some new tricks that i shall off-line. i had a blast, looking forward to the next few events.
