Bang! A boring new blog snaps into existence.

Look at me!  I've joined the 20th century and created a blog.  I hear they are catching on, and I want to get in early...

Actually, I have been preparing for a local bike race, and I learned a ton of information from the blogs of people who had done it in the past.  I thought maybe my experience would be useful to someone else, even if it only provides them with a list of what not to do.
