So, I get to go out to California and do not one but two races at the Sea Otter Classic. I’m going to do the cross country mountain bike race, and the Super D. Super D is “combination of fast fire road descents and a few short double track climbs.Super D is a LeMans-style, mass start race”, with that description, how can it not be fun? Specialized is supplying my bike, team kit, etc, etc, sadly I’ll only be keeping the jersey and shorts. While in California I’ll be doing the Specialized Bicycle Component University the 4 days before the Sea Otter weekend. I’ll get to ride, learn, and be immersed in Specialized’s high end bikes for 4 days, then racing and hanging out at Sea Otter. Kyle went last year and has been helpful in getting me ready, and telling me what to expect. I’ll be gone April 8-16th. I will return with stories and pictures.

In other news commuting is going well, but chilly. The Tricross is awesome, and the Roval wheels are hanlding the weight and abuse well. Training for TransIowa is trucking along, I need to ride more but I’ve been working too much. Night rides maybe the solution, but I don’t know. I guess that’s all the news from me.
