Hello Everyone,
Winter's almost over. You gotta love the anticipation of an early spring,
thoughts of ridding outside, some new gear, and everyone is excited to
see grass! January and February are the tough months for me. Tough to
get excited or motivated.
Next week, I'm starting my training. I think I said that in two or
three e-mails in the last few months, but I was just kidding.
Paul & Dave, at the shop, were making fun of me. I bought new tires
and they said I should get at least 5000 miles out of them or in my
case 10-15 years.

Angela should be on her way home from a week of Heritage tour
traveling with Mackenzie.
It's been a busy week with my younger two girls home, 3 JV hockey games,
5 Varsity practices, the store open 85 hours,
and we're preparing for the first round of the playoffs on Monday.
The good news is, I haven't had to make my bed, put down the toilet seat,
or look for the remote. I've also had some brilliant observations,
1. The washing machines idea of high capacity and mine aren't the same.
2. Dogs and cats can't talk but they will let you know that you've
forgotten to feed them
3. Like #2 kids act the same way and can talk
4. apparently the heater in a dishwasher is hot or tupperware melts
easily
5. happy meals every day don't seem to keep the kids happy
6. I might need to work on my domestic skills

Enough about me, It's ice racing time! As the high school hockey season
comes to an end, ice time frees up. We will have open ice starting a
week from Sunday from 6-7:30am up until race day, March 21. I will post
the dates and times on the webpage. Tentatively it will be Sunday Feb 28,
Mar. 7 & 14, with Indoor Ice racing World Championships on Sunday
March 21 at 4pm. This year we will have a Pro class, an Amateur class,
a Tandem Class, and a Rookie class. Trophies for the winner of each
class. This years races will benefit the CeMeNEMBA. Brian Alexander
and the crew at CeMeNEMBA have been busy lobbying for, adding and
maintaining trails all around Central Maine, and we want to help!
Your donations at the races will help. If you would like to volunteer
some time during this event feel free to contact myself or Brian.
cmccc@roadrunner.com or cemenemba@yahoo.com
We will be working on the final details of the races in the next
week or so. We will also be doing a group ride on the same day
as the races.

Late Breaking news.......Matt Masse has scheduled a ride for Saturday,
Let’s take advantage of this funky weather pattern and road ride

Happy Pedaling
