Talk sense to me — I beseech you

This is what comes of having customized Google subject feeds. Earlier tonight I saw an item about a rather ridiculous, obsessive event at Lowe's Motor Speedway in Charlotte — the Tar Heel state's time-trial capital — on Feb. 9 about hows and whys of cycling time trails. Moments later I pressed send to spend $27.50 to sign up for the the event. I'm interested in this seminar (?) even though I'm told there's no reason to bring my bike (which means a day off the road) and I'll get to drive 360 miles round trip. I really hope I can find time trials closer to home. If this isn't proof that I need to be saved from myself I don't know what is.

You do know that a visit to Lady Clay can include a visit to the southeast's only velodrome...(hint hint)...

Just found your blog and love it. I got really into riding last year and am becoming obsessive about it (2000 plus miles last year, shooting for three this year). Take care.

I've never even been in a velodrome, a situation that may have to change, LC.

Randy, glad you made your way here. Good for you on the miles. Don't be a stranger — and bring your friends.
