It's all about Goal Setting, I think?

Well, I don't really know why, but I pre-registered for the Annual Spring Road Race, the infamous Hillsboro Roubaix, on April 8th, 2006. I actually DO know why I did, it's because I am going to actually "race" it. Look here, I am on the pre-reg list, twice in fact, that's how committed I am. http://www.2wheeltech.com/cms/index.php?option=com_2wresults&Itemid=57&rn=110

Category 3 Men, 66 miles of pure hell, I mean FUN! (After the accident, 4 surgeries, and still having a broken left tibia, I thought it may be wise to downgrade to a cat 3)

Now, keep in mind, I have raced this race many a times, and have NEVER finished, with the lead group that is. This is one of the most brutal, back & shoulder straining races in the Midwest, and in April! Even when I am on my game, I don't like to get in fighting shape until May, so there's my excuse.

No, this year will be fun for me. Shucking & Jiving with teammates, and seeing people I have not seen in a while.



Start off with the field, and then when I get popped off the back, some long, lonely miles of training in. When it's over, I'll do some more jaw yacking, and we'll all enjoy our victories!
