Training

Event training?

Me?

Not so much, really.

I had early aspirations this year of motivating myself to something Epic and Crazy to commemorate my 45th year on the planet, but it just didn’t pan out. I could not motivate to ride hard enough over the early spring months, even with a few interesting epic ride days.

What I did manage to do is figure out and reaffirm how much I enjoy truly epic rides.

What I also learned is that I also enjoy epic DH rides – as my Downhill and Freeride skills and confidence have been growing this has been a well fed side of me. I’m pretty sure Maria isn’t as happy with this, but it’s all part of the tapestry.

So what I’m going to do is to look forward to 2011 and figure out a smattering of events that I think I can motivate myself for, of various types, in addition to planning my next MTB vacation to coincide with (the assumed to be) Arizona Spring Fling 2011.
