I'm finally getting the hang of riding a bike without holding onto the handlebars. I practiced at lower speeds in the neighborhoods until I became comfortable with it. Yesterday I won a field sprint during our group ride, so I raised my arms up in the air and signaled my joy in victory at 25 mph. If only I could have the chance to celebrate a victory like the pros at the finish line of a race.

The Huntsville race weekend is coming up (next weekend) and training is going well. Next week I'll taper off so I'll have fresh legs for the omnium.
