I was very happy to be able to join a large group of people this morning as we rode throughout the hill country to celebrate Kevin L ‘s birthday! I’m also very relieved that, even though the ride was very hard, it doesn’t appear that my decreased training volume secondary to my new job at TSAOG is affecting me too negatively. Most of all, and as always, I am thankful to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for saving me both physically and spiritually, thus enabling me to return to this sport that I love, and for another great ride with several wonderful friends.?
