The weather has been crazy wet and cold this winter. I've gotten to spend some quality time with my new Daughter Amelia Ruth Griffin and my wife Olivia and I've gotten some really good snowboard days in with my dad, but the bikes have been collecting dust and they don't like it! I missed the Icycle nightime downhill for the first time in years due to an icestorm. The rain cleared for a little while yesterday so I got out the road bike. The rain came back about half way through the ride and it got way colder. Today was nice, I got to ride the local Paris Mountain State Park trails here in Greenville. Trails are still pretty messy after all the freeze-thaw-refreeze stuff. The annual Clemson downhill race is coming up Feb 27th and that'll be the first for the season. Hopefully the weather holds and a bunch of spectators will come out of winter hiding! Can't wait to get to racing this season!
