Stronger, Fitter, Faster
Getting into the gym, getting on the bike, and hopefully winning some races someday
Stronger
Twelve years behind a desk does things to your body. For the first time in ten years I've started hitting a gym 3x a week but that doesn't mean I can muster too many pushups just yet.
Fitter
Lose a serious amount of weight. This is definitely key to making everything else work, so I'll be focusing on dropping pounds to get not only into a healthy range of BMI, but to also increase my endurance and fitness.
Faster
Under the guidance of a cycling coach, I'm spending more time in the saddle and riding not just longer, but smarter. Power meters, training plans, and intervals will be the order of the day.

NAHBS 2009
I really wanted to go to Indy this weekend to catch the North American Handmade Bike Show. I attended last year in Portland and was amazed by the craftsmanship and design.
This year I'll be watching the NAHBS tag on flickr closely and remotely living vicariously through the photographs. One of these days I'll finally plunk down some money for a brilliantly painted and equipped rando/touring rig like this one pictured here.
