Looking ahead

Cyclocross....my GOD it is almost here. The core of me is happy but it is still a distant friend to me these days who's come into town recently and made me so happy like in the old days, yet I know will vanish and cause me to long for the bond again.

This is going to be an interesting year. So, I've got to chart out my goals. I can not pretend to have the runway I made for myself last year. I've got to focus on priorities which are

  • Keep my family stoked.
  • Keep my employer stoked.
  • Keep my friends stoked.
  • Keep me stoked.
I am not sure if there is an order above but clearly family first. The employer bullet point has caused the three part teeter totter to bend and break. China, Russia, Australia, The UK, Germany and France...plus my micro 'bus trips' to SF are all on the docket this fall. Weeks at a time. Oh well. It is what it is.

So, where to pour the attention? It has to be laser focused and tight in scope. I am just not going to have the time this season. So, it's got to be: education. In other words pouring my love into teaching others about this sport of ours as mentioned. To this end, I'll be working with mi hombre Brandon Dwight this season on clinics and other evangelisms of the sport. More to come on this news in a week or so but the fact I can start looking newbies in the eye and get them so stoked on how they will improve week in and out is what will keep me sane. That is the juice. I want to trace the progress of a few folks and promote their accomplishments week in and out.

Time's a ticken peeps! Start your running and remounts! I'll be ruining the bell soon when class is in session.

Ohhhh, dude. Can I get in on the cross class time? I've been out of the game for 2 years and itching to get back in. Keep us posted!

Absolutely. Phil! Stay tuned. Likely a clinic starting next Sunday.

Also: mail AT filipo DOT net if any updates warrant. Shouldn't those Wednesday rides get going soon?

Thanks
