So while I’ve been consistently bike commuting, I’ve had a lull in my race schedule and even my training a bit. Last race I did was back on Memorial Day. OK, I guess I’m not that far out, but I’ve had teammates that have done 4 and 5 races since then. Between work, family, weddings, traveling, it’s been really tough to schedule races.

There’s a criterium Sunday in Greensboro, NC, but I’ll be in no shape with this weekend’s wedding festivities and friends from out of town around. Oh well, plenty of more races.

There are also regular races on Tuesdays, but work gets in the way. Short of taking a Tuesday off, I’ll never make it those races either. Oh well. Here’s to committing to more races through the dead of summer and into 2008’s autumn. I can still achieve my goal of 10 race events this season. The hope is that as June ends, more weekends are going to free up, more group rides will have me in attendance and I’ll have more numbers pinned on my jersey.

I’ll be eyeing the Carolinas Cycling Association calendar and BikeReg closely for the rest of the year. It’s been a bit frustrating having to miss so many races, but life is always going to get in the way. I’ve just got to plan out the rest of the race season and make sure more pelotons have me and my Specialized Allez Comp in them.. hopefully with a few medals to my name.
