RIDE 365

so here we go....

as of oct. 1st 2010 I've made a commitment to ride my bike "purposefully" for the next yr. Trail ride or DJ on my days i have free or tear up UMD campus when I don't. I'm doing this with the full intention of becoming a "trail taming monster." I seem how can't justify to myself that I can work in a shop, bike as much as I do and not get my skills up to par. I've got to justify the amount of money i put into biking and my soon to be career choice by having the skill, motivation, and fitness to succeed. I'm keeping this blog to keep me accountable and to kinda see how far i've gotten in a yr.

Some goals this yr...

podium in an SS race or any respectable race
Do a 100 on an mtb
Get my DJ skill to a respectable level
Have the time of my life and maybe make a life change

I'm so far so good since oct.1 thing's I've noted:
motivation at 6am is hard
courage is sometimes recklessness (vice versa)
gotta commit to wheelies and manuals
fall..fall and fall some more one day it'll come
