Been a while

I bet you thought I had vanished or something, right? No, just real busy at work, etc.
I got to make the trip out west to Specialized for a little training and riding. Temps. in the 50-60's was outstanding to ride in. Hopped on a different bike each day, though they were all the s-works variety(tarmac,roubaix,epic 29). Oh, what sweet rides!
While on the left coast, I made the entry list for Syllamos Revenge. The 300 rider limit on the 50 miler capped in less than a 1/2 hr. Another IMBA epic trail to race on down in AR for this spring. I've started to work out a bit of a race schedule for this year that I'll post off to the right hand side soon.
Back here in KC, I haven't been outside on a bike in 3 weeks or so. We have managed to get a good bit of this white fluffy stuff to accumulate everywhere, so I set up my trainer in the basement hallway( I call it the pain cave) and get to work. I save my outside workouts for trail runs in the snow......and still get over to the gym here and there.
Work over at the new shop is progressing nicely. Monday we start setting up product and will make the finishing touches on things throughout the week to prepare for the opening. For those of you that haven't seen it first hand, it's impressive.
