Just coming out of a couple of down weeks after the race season. It came at a good time. Into the late fall the weather really turns. It is dark much of the day and rains almost all the time. The weather just re-enforces my lessening drive to be out on the bike.

I had the most versatile season in a long time. I raced on the gravel bike, time trial bike and mountain bike. It was a real treat to have so many different experiences.

I was quite please with my late season fitness. I made real progress through the year. The break from riding has freshed me up and I am looking forward to starting back up.
