I wonder how many others are making the same decision due to losing tri bike transport. Thanks for the heads up on that bike shop. I will be avoiding them at all costs! literally!Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03748250987644502052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6284978644306844260.post-26372950421581921682010-02-01T09:34:47.250-05:002010-02-01T09:34:47.250-05:00For what it's worth, I think you're making...For what it's worth, I think you're making a good decision, race-wise. As fun as they are, racing "B" and "C" grade races can sure take a lot out of you and increase your risk of injury. And you certainly don't need any more of that. Two IMs, along with your work committments, in one year is pressure enough.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02870327910783255436noreply@blogger.com
