For this year I have two major goals:
1) Ride Smarter/Ride Faster - I say "ride" instead of "train" because "training" sounds like a leach on the fun that "riding" has in store. Last year I was fairly close to getting my pro xc mountain upgrade, but both plateaued in riding and managed to hurt myself. This year (so far) I have managed to minimize the intensity earlier in the season, to rather build a strong base to grow on. Also, I think that racing cross last fall may have helped my handling skills....but, we'll see about that.
2) Don't Get Hurt (as much) - 'nuf said.
In any sense, this year I'd like to pull of some bigger results in more regional events and become more consistent. This being opposed to having a couple big results, sprinkled with pack fodder.
This weekend will see the inaugural event of the Mid-Atlantic Super Series (MASS). Look out for Tim, Taylor, Erik (Mr. Shop Owner Himself), and myself representing State College's finest as The Big Hairy Test Cycles p/b The Bicycle Shop Inc. at "PAValleys.com International Intergalactic Global Open Mountain Bike Team Relay Championship of the Universe Including the Anti-Matter One. (There, That Should About Cover It.)".
