Let’s talk goals. Cycling is fun, I love spending time on the bike, meeting new people and challenging myself, but all that aside, I have three specific goals for my upcoming year of cycling. 1. Offseason training + Zwift Racing. I’ve currently been moved into Cat 3, so during winter season I want to continue my structured training and become a Cat 2. Zwiftpower.com does an awesome job at monitoring races and moving people around when necessary, so I know I have some hard work ahead of me, but it’s doable. 2. Race Season - Moving into next year, I’ll be starting my racing career as a Cat 5. I believe with my training, and motivation I’ll be able to upgrade to Cat 3 over the course of the year. 3. Joining a team. Having the support of others who want to better themselves, race to win and have a good time bolstering the cycling community would be an amazing achievement. I have fallen in love with cycling, and I’ve competed at an elite level in other sports before. I’ve been documenting my journey from my first bike purchase her in Redlands at @dons_bicycles and will be continuing to do that throughout this entire process. Keep an eye out for blogs on my site, and the release of my Youtube series “The road to racing”. If you’re local, let’s ride, have some fun and maybe grab a KOM or two along the way. . . . . . . . . #100daychallenge #cycling #bikelife #fitness #cyclinglife #roadbike #bianchi #strava #ride #instacycle #cyclist #cyclistlife #cyclingpics #cyclelife #cinelli #shimano #mavic #garmin #gopro #elielcycling #lecol #donsbikes #putthefunbetweenyourlegs #bikeadventures #ridemorebikes #adventureanywhere #workhardanywhere #goexplore #redlands (at Redlands, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3nGbP-gsFE/?igshid=bma8juk90sxd

I love eating. I love cycling. They go together like peanut butter and jelly. I’m a huge fan of peanut butter jelly sandwiches as a quick pick me up. Actually, tbh, I’m a big fan of peanut butter on anything. My current fav cycling snack has all the good things of a 🥜 + 🍇 without any of the bad parts.

Bonking sucks, this is how I avoid it.
