But, I'm going to blog. I took this blog down in its most recent iteration because of some technical difficulties I was having with it. But that was premature.
Well, after a year off racing, in which I, of course, gained a ton of weight, spent far too much time restlessly watching youtube videos of criteriums and photos from the 1980s of bike racing (and I honestly felt rudderless much of the time) I was graciously invited by some good friends to join a masters 40+ team based out of St. Louis. It was just what I needed to feel motivated again--about the sport and about my role in it.
Cycling, and bike racing, have been such a huge part of my life for 3 decades now. I've seen it ebb and flow, seen the rise and fall of many fads in the sport. But it is a beautiful, beautiful sport that I miss participating in.
