You may have noticed that there was no product review this week. That’s because there’s going to be a little bit of blog neglect through the month of September. It’s been a crazy end of August as well, but some of that will be leading in to more content.

One of the big changes at the end of August was that I upgraded my bike. I’ve been doing a LOT more biking this year and after 9 years of my faithful Trek FX I decided it was time to go for something new. There’s a whole story around this bike, and the purchasing of it, but I’ll make that into a post at a later date. I’ll also do a full product review of the bike once I’ve had it for a few weeks.

The other reason for some blog neglect will be the amount of traveling I’m doing this month. This afternoon we head up to the north shore for the Superior 100 (volunteering and pacing), and then after that we’re heading out of town for 12 days to help pace at the Tahoe 200 and the Sangre de Christo 100 race. This is going to be an incredibly long trip, but I’m hoping that I’ll be able to send off a few dispatches from the road. I’m really looking forward to getting out west again and seeing some trails I’ve never seen before.

In the meantime, I’ll keep trying to post my weekly fitness updates, and work on more new features for the blog. Here’s to an exciting end of 2019! #livingmybestlife
