I decided a while ago that I want to try out for the paralympic cycling team to get more attetion towards BPI, see more of the world, and educate BPI families about the things they should know that my family did nit know while I was growing up. I have my first bike race of the season this Saturday! Wish me luck! This will be the first of many, building up to the Paralympic cycling trials being in mid June. I'll keep you all updated if anyone is interested. Still planning on making a website of my own, just haven't had the time lately. Be well!

Thanks everyone! No video, but my room mate, who is a photographer, offered to take pictures of the start if it's not raining on Saturday.

I also am getting my new pro racing bike today! I've been training on a generic road bike, and have been doing pretty well on it, but I've definitely worn it into the ground. I'm stoked about Saturday!

So last Saturday I decided to pull out of the race at the last minute. It was raining heavily, and the wind was blowing hard. I didn't think it worth damaging my new bike over. However, tomorrow I'm racing in an afternoon criterium series, so that will be my first official of many races this year. I'll keep you posted!
