Besides the obvious spectator participation in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tourdegeorgia.com\/\">Tour de Georgia<\/a>, I want to finally have a good season on the road this year. I haven&#8217;t had a really good one since Andrea and I rode the 2000 Washington DC AIDS Ride together. Every year, it seems like something gets in the way, but this time I&#8217;m starting early, am riding my indoor trainer on days I don&#8217;t have time to get out on the road, and am going to participate in some organized group events. I think those will motiviate me to not be such a slacker, if only to avoid showcasing an embarrassing lack of fitness. <\/p>\n<p>I think my first target for the season will be the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aikenbicycleclub.org\/DamRideFlyer.pdf\">Best Dam Ride<\/a>, about 58 miles around Clark&#8217;s Hill Reservoir.

I&#8217;ll try a thirty mile unsupported ride this Sunday, and if I can handle it without a major meltdown, I should be good for a 58-mile supported ride in a few weeks. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hopefully we got most of the rain out of the way in March, because there&#8217;s a lot of cycling to be done!
