Mid summer report

Well here we are in July. 2 more months till cross season starts. I can't wait, wish I was getting thinner and faster. But alas I will probably start the season as I do ever year, fat and out of shape.
I do have my cross bike dialed in, a Cannondale XTJ, not that light but it fits and handles pretty well. Been riding on the road with it of late, feels like I took a couple of steps back after riding the road bike but I will get the leg speed up eventually.

On the home front the kids are growing up so fast! Need to get and addition up really soon!!!

The garden in the back is coming together well, hopefully will have some late season veggies.

Working on a few things hopefully they will work out.

Hmmm

Well a new day dawns and I am still here. Many things have changed and some have stayed the same since my last post.

Another successful season of cross has come and gone. I went through 3 bikes before finally settling on one.

Got to use the new SRAM Force this year, which I am pretty happy with. I still think Shimano has the edge although I have yet to try the newer 6700 or 7900 stuff yet.

Met some new friends and reacquainted with some old dear friends thanks to facebook.

The family I got to take that vacation to Disney World, a week of Disney will be fine for another 4 years.

Able to go see the old man and his new flame. Glad they are doing well. If she can stay with him on a boat up the coast she will probably be able to handle anything he does.

Had hernia surgery, it's taking me a while to heal up but I am glad it's done and over.

Still at Performance, not really where I want to be, but with the addition going up it may allow me the freedom to get a little more work done around the old homestead.

I am sure there is more but I am off for my 6 month cardio check up.

Cheers.
