Motivation

Motivation: I just called Addictive Cycles to see if they were going to have my new bike ready soon. The Georgia Cross season starts this coming Sunday and I was hoping to be racing on the new Cannondale Cross bike. Not to mention, I can hardly wait to get on the Optimo built with 10-speed Dura-Ace components. I'm waiting for a call back at this moment.

More Motivation: I haven't heard from Wojtek about the house painting project and I hope he gets going on it soon. I decided to go with taupe for the house, dark green for doors and shutters and white for the trim. We'll also be replacing the old wooden garage door with a nice new one - Bev wants an automatic opener too.

Even More Motivation: I have another new coaching client and this rider is mainly into ultra-marathon cycling. He also wants to compete in the State and National Time Trial Championships in 2005. This guy has several double-centuries on his schedule as well as a 24-hour event where his target is over 400 miles... that's some serious chamois time!

If the weather is decent, I am planning on bringing the boys down to the race Sunday. If I feel decent, I will bring my Trek and take a shot at the beginner's race. I will probably back out once I see it, but 1/2 hour of agony can be good for the spirit.

There is no doubt cyclocross racing is hard and painful, but it's also sort of fun. I think you'll be glad you did it. If your wearing the GTC colors, all the GTC crowd will be cheering for you *AND* Scott (pro-wrench from Addictive Cycles) will be in the pits to support you too.
