Update

It has been awhile so here is what I have been up to.

In September of 2010 I purchased a 2008 Kestrel Talon in tri form. I really enjoyed the bike in that form but since I moved to Colorado in January of this year that setup would not work for me hear at present time.  The first step was to replace my 11-23 cassette to an 11-28. This would help with climbing but not effect my top end.  Next, due to budget I purchased a set of Forte (Performance Bike house brand) carbon shifters. Ultimately, I would like to have Ultegra or Dura-Ace shifters but I got the Forte shifters for $175.  I also added an Easton EA30 aero drop bars.  At 19 pounds It is still a bit heavy but it is fast and has a very comfortable ride.  I really enjoy the Kestrel.

I have ridden 2,400 miles so far for 2011.  My goal was 2,500 so I am happy with where I am at this point.  I didn't do any big rides like Mt. Evans or a century but I did a lot of 50+ mile rides. 

I am now getting ready to start running.  I hope to do a 10k by May 2012.  For 2012 my cycling mileage goal is 3,500 and 800 miles for running.

I currently weigh 233 but want to drop to 195 by May.

Moving to Colorado

I am about to move to Colorado.  This has been coming for a long time and I am looking forward to my new adventures.

Colorado

I'm in Highlands Ranch, CO visiting Doug and Sarah.  Yes, I brought my bike and did a 35 mile ride yesterday.  Thankfully I have adjusted quickly to the altitude.  I was really nervous about riding here after having bronchitis just a couple weeks ago.

The vast majority of the time Doug and I were on a bike path which unlike Ohio bike paths there are hills and hills and more hills. 

Tomorrow I will be trying my hand at mountain biking.  This will be a first for me.

My first century ride!

After months of talking about it I finally hit the 100 mile mark!

It's been a while!

Still riding. In June made a trip to Gatlinburg with Team CCR. One hard ride!

Just finished a 31 mile ride.

Not riding much

I have not been riding much but I have been running and working with weights. I am back on my diet. Down to 222 lbs.
