A bit about me.

I hate to admit it, but I'm tired. I'm hurting. I've had a rough year.

I'm now a business owner, and that's tiring.

I've crashed twice. I've broken my hand, 8 ribs and collapsed my lung. I've spent about 9 days in the hospital and had two surgeries.

I lost my Dad to cancer. He was young and strong. I wake up thinking about him because he's always the last person I think about before I fall asleep. I hope that still happens for a long time, but it means I dream and toss and turn and now I'm so, so tired.

I've dug deep, trying to hold things together. Riding is still my outlet, but it's not enough. I just can't seem to pound the pedals hard enough. Not this year anyways.

I'm going to race again next year, but I'm not sure how. I don't have much fight in me right now, but I hope it'll come. I'm just not sure of it.

9:00am at the Bean this Saturday. 3 hours in the rain.

Saturday morning, sunny but cold

9:00am at the bean. If it's real nice, we'll go for a long one. I'm thinking Horseshoe bay, deep cove, then SFU. SFU will be the first stop, so bring food.

These sunny winter days don't come round here too often, so make the most of them.
