The weather has been all over the place, but it looks like spring might actual be on its way. If the forecast holds, my first race of the year, Barry Roubaix, will be an excellent weekend. I\u2019ve been trying to log as many hours as I can on the trainer and hope that time pays off. I\u2019ll once again be riding my single speed cross bike, with a 40×18 gearing this time around. <\/p>\n
In other news, the Tour de Frankenmuth road race was canceled… \ud83d\ude41 I was really looking forward to doing this race. I had wanted to ride with the \u201cA\u201d group out of Lennon to prepare myself for this race, but after hearing it was canceled I switched my focus to mountain bike race prep. Speaking of which, I managed to win a free entry to the Yankee TT mountain bike race on April 24! \ud83d\ude00 <\/p>\n
Our camping gear has slowly started to trickle in over past few weeks. My pack didn\u2019t fit as well as it could and I returned it for a size smaller, the folks at backcountry.com took care of me and it was a pretty painless process. The tent was a little tricky to get setup (in the living room), but now that I\u2019ve done it, shouldn\u2019t be too bad. <\/p>\n
Last week our stove, bowl set, and fuel canisters came. Supposedly the bowls and a 230 gm canister can fit inside the stove cup, but it\u2019s not as easy as you would think. The canisters come in slightly different shapes\/sizes and even watching a YouTube video didn\u2019t help get everything together. After 30 or 40 minutes of different configurations I was finally able to figure out a way to get it all in the one container (might have to color code it for future reference \ud83d\ude09 ). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
