Looks like google has some interesting tricycles to map the footpaths around UK. After seeing the pic of the trike, it just makes me wonder if it would work for cyclcross?

Happy New Year 2009

obra4 | December 31, 2008

Happy New Year!

With the 2008 season behind, I’m looking forward to begin a new season of road and track racing. Being a first time parent did not leave me much time for racing, so I am definitely looking toward 2009.  My goals for the coming year are rather basic:

  • Ride 100-150 miles a week
  • Minimum mid-pack at races
  • Cat 2 on the track
  • Compete in Alpenrose Velodrome Challenge (AVC)

Hope everyone has a Happy New Year.  Now go out and ride!
