I have been in school this fall studying geography, chemistry, biology, and english. it's a little different for me but I am enjoying it and I only have a few weeks left of classes and it feels like it has gone by super fast.

Riding has also been good. I started my training again at the start of November and I am having fun with that. I am doing some more runs this year and going to the gym a couple of times a week. One thing that is different is I am doing all my road training on a mtb. The bike is a Norco LRT commuter bike which I have put a set of Ultegra road cranks on and some clipless pedals. I actually like it more because I have the same position as on my XC bike so there isn't a huge difference between bikes when I am training. Also when I go on the weekly group rides I am able to have a better workout. So far so good. Also because the speed is a couple of kilometres an hour slower then my road bike I actually stay warmer when I am out riding in the rain. ( i average about 27-28km/hr on a longer training ride) Maybe I'll have to post a picture of the bike.

Its also been raining a lot here. The trails yesterday were like little creeks and the low spots had water over the hubs which was a little crazy! I guess all the rain is good though, it will definitely be good come summer.
