re: tOfficial Cycling Thread

I had a big post that double posted yesterday and then got deleted, so I'll try to make a shorter one:

I came out of racing retirement to race an end-of-season enduro. Finished 2nd in the 50+ age group. My off season training will basically just be riding as normal, since we can ride year-round here. I have lights this year, so I'm looking forward to some night time trail riders. RPM classes 2 days a week. Heavy lifts in gym 3 days a week. Trail rides on weekends.

My son (finally 16) is in the gym 3 days a week on a training plan from PerformX (moto and MTB specific training). He'll do some XC rides, but mainly I encourage him to spend his off season doing stuff that isn't racing-related. So, he'll be on his BMX and DJ bikes a lot riding dirt jumps, skatepark, and street. He'll also spend a lot of time building and just doing "fun" stuff. He has access to an airbag now, so that's letting him work on his flips and flat spins.

He's pumped to be 16 and be able to drive himself to ride. He and a friend overnighted at Mt. Nebo, cleared and rode some trails, and then rode an air bag last weekend. Obligatory instagram post below:
