So, what will 2009 hold for me?  If it is anything like 2008, then I know I have no idea what is going to happen!  However, if it follows the same path as 2008, then I know it will be good!  I do have some goals and wishes…

1.  I would like to give the Assault on Mount Mitchell another try.  The passcodes will be handed out sometime this month and my name is on one of them.  This time I would like to finish it in 6 hours and 30 minutes.

2.  I would like to pick up some points as a Cat. 4 racer this year.  Last year I put my focus on long rides.  This year I’d like to give racing more of my focus.  At forty in just my second season racing, I have a lot to make up for!  My wish is that I will actually win one…

3.  I want to go to Texas again.  This time, I want to have my wife come and join me in Austin.  I don’t think I’ll get her on the bike, but I sure missed her last time and having the beautiful redhead there would make a wonderful event just about perfect!

4.  I would love to see LowCadence.com keep growing and allow me to meet more cyclists and open the doors for some product reviews.  It has been exciting to see how the site has allowed me to connect with people I never would have otherwise.  I’m not talking about just “important” people either.  I’m talking about lots of cyclists just like me.

Thank you for joining me on the site.  I welcome your tips and feedback.  Really, that is what will make number four a reality.  Knowing that you all are there reading — and I know you are because I see the stats — is what keeps me putting words up.

I trust you will have a happy and prosperous new year!  I hope to see you on the road.
