is upon us.

The Mingo Creek series (site of my auspicious entry into the world of bicycle racing) begins on 29 March. The series runs on 5 and 19 April as well. The Morgantown Road Race (which is run in Pennsylvania, but, whatever) is 11 April, and racing at the Oval begins on 8 April. Oh, and the Aliquippa crit series will run during the month of May. So many opportunities to get dropped, so little time….

I will be at least one of the Mingo races, and possibly the Morgantown race. The latter is nearly 50 hilly miles, which is more than I’ve ridden in one sitting since last fall. I’m sure the course, which is a single loop, will be awesome, but 50 miles? Really? In April? I’m cat 4, not PRO (nor am I a randonneur).
