This is the view from one of our guest bedrooms through the new door and highlights the new patio.
We have been getting the house opened, errands run and a few things fixed. Roger says the gremlins always come in and break stuff while we are gone?
The weather has been a little cold and we had about 18 hours of rains, which is very unusual. You can see it was snow up on the mountain. We are only here for 7 days until we leave for Telluride. We have never been there and are looking forward to it. They have very little snow. I have a new snowboard so I am concerned about tearing it up on the rocks!
We have ridden the last three days despite the funky weather. We have stayed warm and dry. We are trying to just get some miles in. Real training does not start until after Telluride. I have gotten a little over 7 hours in the 3 days including a great MTB ride in the Tortolitas. Teenie and I left HQ by bike and rode out into the desert. We ran into 3 guys who showed us nice trails. I am learning my way around.Tomorrow we are starting the year right with a ride to Gates Pass....60+ miles........some of you know it. Sun all day!
I will be turning attention to Camp as soon as we return from snowboarding.
Plans for the agenda will be out. Hopefully our kits are in soon.
The season is not far away. Hincapie is having 4 weekends of racing this year and it is starting the weekend of Camp........crazy, it seems, to start that early??
Stay warm, healthy and hopefully get some winter miles in!

Let's not hear about YOUR weather affecting your training.... us mere mortals back here in the east are fed a daily dose of cold and wet.... However Hoodster has thrown down the gauntlet pitting east vs west.... rode up to the Blue Ridge today in the cold lonely fog, thinking about Mt. Lemmon.....
Telluride is great. There are also some epic Mtn. Bike rides there. Have fun!
Telluride is a cool town. I have never skied there, but I was there for the Tour of CO and it was cool. Supposed to be good skiing, but if there isn't any snow, do the MTB thing. Awesome riding there.
Bird's right, we don't want to hear about your 18 hours of rain. Yes, that is unusual (because you live in a desert) but we're braving 30 degree days to get in our miles. Computrainer classes are still cheaper than plane tickets!
4 weekends of Spring Series races seems like a lot, so I hope it works out for them. I'm very pleased that team camp is during the first weekend, so we can all skip a race weekend conscience-free while we work on an early season tan. Should be a really fun week in Tuscon with the team.
