Man, what is UP??

It's been forever since I have updated this website. The team has been nursing some injuries this season, and while we've normally raced at least three races by now at this time of year, we've not raced at all.
Yesterday I went out and did a 25 mile 'gravel grinder,' as we've been calling them. It is a hybrid ride between a mountain bike ride and a road bike ride. We look at a map, maybe on Map My Ride, and we plot out a route to link up miles on gravel roads at a generally modest pace. Rarely are we killing it. But we do in on a mountain bike.
The gnats and mosquitoes were killing me yesterday, absolutely nearly intolerable. You had to keep moving or it was major trouble. I rode in Southern Illinois, and checked out the Trail of Tears State Forest. Hmmmmm, not a bad place for a race someday....
Anyway, just training as usual. Running and biking when I can. Work has been super busy.
Oh, and after several months when the new Lynskey Ridgeline, love it. As in, REALLY love it.
Not sure what the rest of the season has in store for us. It's just a really funky year with team injuries and crappy weather.
