Catching Up

I've had a few requests lately to start to writing in my blog again.  I guess it has been a while since I posted something.  Thinking back to last year and my last post, a lot has happened... mostly good stuff, but as life can be, it's the typical roller coaster scenario. However, as the title of my blog says, I'm a very lucky man to be living the life I do, so no complaints from me.

To summarize what's happened since last summer... had a great fall of archery hunting with my good friend Hunter and his family and friends.  Worked hard in the gym all fall and early winter and set some new personal strength records.  Trained very hard in the cold and rain all winter.  Raced poorly all spring.  Finally started coming back to life in May, and have been racing two to three crits a week for the past 6 weeks.

Now that all the details are out in the open, I'll start writing more regularly with hopefully something interesting to say every now and then.  In the spirit of keeping this article short, I'm going to sign off and leave you with a bitchin' picture of me by one of our local photographer/cyclist, Addie Teo.  I've never liked seeing myself in photos much but this one actually makes me look half good,  a true testament to Addie's skills.  Thanks Addie!
