On Saturday, I ventured over to Sterling for the afternoon to help out the MRC Sterling Classic Road Race. On my way to check in I bumped into former teammate and all around cool dude, Jim English. He asked when I was going to start blogging again… because he needed a laugh. Well Jim, If you’re reading this, the dry spell is now over.

My blogging break, which lasted for two solid months and 16 days, was action packed with school, applying for jobs, and of course riding bikes. On the school front, I am done! On Saturday I graduate. Nuts. It hasn’t quite hit me yet that I am all done. On Sunday I will be having a graduation party at my house in Shirley. Anyone who wants to come is invited. I think it’s at 4 pm… I’ll have to check with my Ma.

On the job front…I have a job. I sent out no less than 30 personalized applications, cover letters, resumes, and portfolios to lots of different companies. I heard back from a few but lots suggested I try back at the end of the summer when more were hiring. I think that part of me was too picky and limited the range of the skills and knowledge I have picked up… but I know what I want to do. I was hired as the Creative Director (in charge of designing logos, packaging, managing web sites, promotional material, and so much more…) at a sporting goods manufacturer (which also happens to be my family’s business). I am super excited about this because I get to do everything which I love doing. Yea!

Biking is also going well. I haven’t raced yet this year or have even bought my racing license. My plan is to only mountain bike race over the summer and mainly focus on the long 6, 12, and 24 hr events. Every once and a while I’ll throw in a regular xc race for fun. I want to save up as much money as I can though because there is lots of stuff I would like to buy, I would like to move out of Shirley by the end of the summer, and I will be racing cross every weekend come the fall. As of now, I am super excited about how crisp and dark my tan lines are this early in the season.

Yea. Oh and thanks to all those people which still came to this site to see if I had posted anything. Surprisingly there were about 40 hits (on average) every day over the last few months.

Word.
