I know, I know, I’ve been terrible at getting stuff posted. What can I say, other than what I’ve already said in the past; life gets in the way at times.
Things have been a bit hectic lately and as a result some things have been suffering. That includes my time to write any [...]

So I’ve managed to pick out a few races that I want to and I’ve also narrowed down at a least a few weekends that I want to race; I just need to decide which race.
One of the tougher decisions, that I believe I’m getting closer to making, is how hard do I want to [...]

Yours!
Well, I’ve had a few too many things going on the last 2 weeks that I haven’t had a chance to blog about this until now.

The only thing that saved me from any kind of serious injury and [...]
