March??
March heralds in the promise of Spring - warm sun, greening grass, beckoning roads. Yes Spring happens every year but belief dims when the thermometer reads 2 and the snow gauge reads 36 on this most anticipated of mornings. But Downeast Racing does still believe as we pedal in the basement, rumble the fatbike up the snow trails and slay the hills & dales at the various Maine cross country ski centers. Our new Castelli kits are in, new Giant bikes are getting assembled, and new Giro helmets and shoes now glisten awaiting the dirt and grim surely to be accumulated from the clearing roads of New England. Our mid-March team training camp in Asheville, NC is all locked down where we expect to emerge with faster, sun blessed legs.
New England Dirt Roads in Spring
We'll start the racing season at the Miles Standish Road Race (Plymouth, MA) and then head over to Cambridge, NY for the Tour of the Battenkill. With racing season in sight, we can come out of our winter hibernation and allow ourselves the privilege to keep all updated on the team composition, training, racing and all the good things associated with riding the bike. March and April in Maine are kind of cruel as we both watch out the window and see snow or cold brisk, damp winds with one eye and watch guys in t-shirts playing golf with the envious other. But maybe that what makes New Englanders tough??
Summer Warmth Will Come
