Racking stacks of cash.


So here we are towards the end of February. Winter in Michigan is a good time to build bikes, upgrade components and stockpile dough for the March registration madness. This time of year usually includes a modicum of physical activity offset by a heavy dose of planning and daydreaming about the upcoming season. Non-stop thoughts of doing every possible event on the 2012 schedule with no regard to the reality that life will slowly interfere with these aspirations and it will dawn on me that I am not a professional rider. From this was born the venerable poseur who I have become. Thankfully, my Astana team kit will continue to gather dust...


The end of February also marks several upcoming registration deadlines for Michigan events that will test your registration abilities. You snooze, you lose.



First up will be Thursday, March 1, 2012.
Iceman Cometh Challenge registration opens up at 1000 EST.

New registration process this year! Since 2012 will be the first year using the USA Cycling registration system, you'll want to create an account with USA Cycling before registration opens so all of your data will be pre-populated in the system. Creating an account is free and simple to do. Just look for the "sign in" button in the upper right hand corner of their home page (www.usacycling.org).
