I'...Lee - you'll have to say hi to J for me. I'm glad you have the chance to take classes and such on the track. I'm sorely missing the (primitive) track I went to back then, and I recently started dreaming about putting shorter cranks on the road bike, prepping the track bike, and working on my pedal form.<br /><br />The blogging has taken a huge hit. It's been really hard to get anything done, but I think this is more a Cat 5 parent thing than anything else. Although I hinted at it, I haven't posted it, but I'll preview it here - I've resigned from my job effective May 12th. We want to have a parent at home and I have some bike related stuff I'd like to get done too. I hope that this gets me back on track, at least a little bit. Thanks for the kind words and I hope I can inspire a few more to go out there and race.Akihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00430651087205849350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36139180.post-67422827792310367602012-05-03T21:56:32.860-04:002012-05-03T21:56:32.860-04:00I know that this is an old post but I had a bit of...I know that this is an old post but I had a bit of a "small world" experience last night. I got interested in bike racing in large part due to your videos and blog. Your treatment of the subject of track racing piqued my interest enough that when the opportunity presented itself, I gave it a shot. I finsihed my six week certification class a couple weeks ago and proudly went out and got shelled handily at my first Friday Night Racing session. Anyway... I am taking the "advanced" six week class now (despite feeling very "advanced") and I overheard someone mention a friend who run a series in CT... Turns out the female half of your CA training camp hosts is taking the class as well. Small world. BTW congratulations on Koichi and although it has obviously slowed down your blogging...try not to let it totally kill it. Many of us enjoy your storytelling and are inspired to dream and race in some part because of it.Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05287260434923008489noreply@blogger.com
