Looking forward

The off season is almost here, but it's really more of a prep-time for the coming season. I plan on doing an awful lot of riding in the "off season" but most of it will be riding to keep me sane. Hopefully soon, the 2010 calendar for road and mtb will be set up so I can build a training plan to structure my peaks and tapers.

Also, today I saw a picture of my buddy Bjorn Selander hanging out with Lance Armstrong. Bjorn and I raced together as juniors when we were 17-18 and had a pretty good season with our team. Within the next two years he had won the Junior cross national championship, was riding cross in europe and on the fast track in the cycling world. It is really funny to see him getting a bid for Team Radioshack next year and chilling with Lance and Taylor Phinney. Too bad that I didn't keep killing it after being a junior...I am not really sure if that is a lost opportunity for me, but i think this next year could bring good results and hopefully catch up on some of that "lost time" of not riding.

BIG PLANS for next year, so lets get cooking.
