The holidays are not easy for cyclists aiming to get into, or stay in, shape. There is always something around to detract from a training routine. Food, family, and friends are welcome distractions to even the most obsessive athletes. However, for those of us from climates that turn the winter into the set of Rocky IV, it is particularly tough.
After 2 weeks of temps around 10F (-15C) in my native hometown of Minneapolis, Minnesota, I'm on my way back to Verona, Italy, my home away from home. Though I certainly didn't get out (or into) shape, I really cannot wait for the first training sessions with my Focus XC Italy Team around Lake Garda and through the famous Valpolicella vineyards.
Looking forward to a great start to 2013!
