New Years Day Ride and looking ahead.....

A quick look at what could be the loop for this years New Years Day ride.....somewhat the same as years past.  One thing to keep in mind with the ride....it is a go no matter what the weather!  So show up or face a full year of heckling for sitting home in your warm pj's.  Dec. 31st at 9am from He-Nis-Ra Park on the west side of Green Bay.  All and any style of bike welcome, best bet is mountain or cx....or.....FATTIE!

Looking ahead to next season.....I am thinking since I sold anything 29er to get a fat bike (worth it for sure!)....and I have not sold the Epic 26, I am thinking I will just ride the smaller wheels on the Epic.  Kind of tired of trying to sell bikes to get new ones, I have a great road, cx, fat, and xc racer.....so I am happy with that and ready to roll with it.

As for the racing schedule....not really sure what to think right now?  I am thinking this may be a very light year on the racing front?  I will still hit the line for a handful of races, I do know for sure that it will not be the same number as years past.  Maybe the 20 years of racing have a little to do with it, I know financially I need a year (or 2) away from the high dollar races, some of the big races are just getting way to high in entry fees, almost pricing themselves out of the running.....but still you have sellouts so someone is willing to pay the high fees?

Another thing is the need and desire to just hang and be with family, racing is very demanding with the training, travel.....just a lot goes into the sport to make it fun and competitve on the weekends.  We'll see what the new season brings........?

Hmmmmm?  Half of course!
