First Post of the year

I have been reading several blogs for a quite awhile now and finally got an incentive to start my own. I will be racing mountain bikes for GT bicycles Dirt Coalition Team this year and will need to provide race updates on a regular basis. This will be my first time racing directly for a bike company. I have been racing for shops since '92. It was the incentive that I needed to get in race shape again. I spent the past year or so riding with my now 15 month old son, Lars, in the trailer on the back of my bike. It has been great fun and you can be sure that I will incorporate it into my training.
