Having taken a 2 year hiatus from mountain bike racing, I was a bit nervous when my brother convinced me to sign up for this years Rocky Mountain Endurance series. My eating habits have gotten horrible, I'm overweight, and I hadn't lifted a finger to train for this event... But I digress. It was time to turn over a new leaf, and get back into the type of riding that initially sparked my love for mountain biking in the first place.

I wanted to wait for a bit before blogging about my day at the Old Man Winter rally, so that I would have time to reflect on not only the quality of the event itself, but also what an event like this means for the world of cycling culture here in Boulder...
Very exciting things are happening this weekend. Just today I was invited to take part in the Old Man winter bike rally, which is being put on by the Oskar Blues Brewery in Lyons, CO. Im very excited not only because this is my first formal event of the year, but this also means i'll officially be breaking my year long hiatus from riding in any sort of organized event. I'm really hoping that after participating in this, it'll reignite my passion for cross country mountain bike racing.
