It has been a long time coming, but the wait was worth it.  Yes, there are a few learning curves and it will take a little getting used to, but it is awesome.  The site consists of many cool features including articles by riders and forums for those recumbent racers/riders or soon to be recumbent racers/riders interested in partaking...

Just no urge...

I had a great ride this weekend , but not felt any urge to ride the last couple of days.  So, I'm not going to. it's been hot! So, what do I do?...ride in it.  This is the best way to train, in my opinion.  Races don't stop because of the weather.  It may be hot, cold, raining, and snowing and you just have to be ready.  All of my rrides have been going well this summer.  While not all have been fast or fun, most have been progressive and I've learned even more about myself.  One of the things I don't quite understand is my lack of ability in a time trial.  Why can I push myself at 28mph for miles and miles, but in a time trial, choke on my own cookies?
I don't know.  I'll just keep on trucking. I have no real need to be the fastest person on the planet and nobody but myself to please when it comes to a wonderful hobby. Today, I will have fun with my son and maybe run. Tomorrow...ride
