2012 thus far and something BIG

2012 thus far has been well...In a word.. relaxing.... It's been nice not having a set training schedule as I'm currently in the so called "prep" period of my training. That all changes soon as I enter real training after this week is done. It's also been nice just riding around with a few of my new teammates, and hitting up new trails that i've never been on before. FYI Grey Butte has some good trails, but they can be a bit sticky. I've been roaming around seeing what the Redmond area has to offer as opposed to Bend. To tell you the truth it's been kind of refreshing. But enough with that let's move on to what really has me excited this year.

I've been put in charge of putting together a criterium that will be in Downtown Redmond. I am extremely excited to be putting together an event like this, and I feel it has the potential to become one of the better events to go to on the road schedule in Oregon. We're still in the planning process, and we will know soon the where and when very soon. We're looking to have the date and course set in stone as soon as next week. All I can say right now is it's going to be in downtownish area of redmond, and will take place in early August. If I had to say one thing about the courses I've come up with so far. It would be it's going to be a fast fast fast race. All you roadies better make sure you have this weekend open because it's going to be one heck of an event.

This is the last week of a lackadaisical schedule..Come next week it's GAME ON
