For the last several years much of my identity has been tied to cycling. I promote cycling to work, provide 'maintenance' services for all the kids in my neighborhood, and usually ride several thousand miles a year.
This year I have even had a hard time making it to spinning classes more than once or twice a week. Admittedly, there are a number of factors that play into my lack of cycling:
- At work we went nearly 6 months down a developer on my team. My particular skill set meant much of the additional work fell to me.
- Between Mrs. GeekCyclist's work schedule and the school/activity schedule of the boys it seems like I have to be in more places at more times than before.
- About a month ago I took on coaching the local high school's freshman basketball team for the spring season.
Finally, I recently got around to signing up for the MS-150. I will post more on that later, including a link so that all my friends who have stuck by the blog while I have 'gone quiet' can support me while I ride. Signing up means organized training rides, and a need to get back in shape.
So, maybe I can still call myself a cyclist.

Welcome from Dispatches, SLC. And cheep men who have to fix their own flats while commuting to work ride clinchers :-)
