Back to normal?

Ok...I got 144 miles in this weekend. I feel like a cyclist again. Do you want some advice...NEVER QUIT TRAINING!! NEVER!!!! or you will pay for having to start over. Actually I never quit, I just didn't make it a priority. I stopped by ProBike today and talked with Gary about racing next year...and I was shocked that the first race will be in Feb. OMG! Why haven't I been training!!!!! The ProBike team got a new sponsor and there will be some money paid out at the end of the season on number of races completed and places. So now I have to decide if I will ride with them quickly as they are about to order team kits which I get to pay for. I probably will. I am really slow and overweight right now and I thought I would have 3-4 months of training before my first race. I am always "a day late and a dollar short". I better go get that headlight for my bike as I will probably be riding at night now. Need a discount on bike parts for cycling. Maybe buy new bicycle wheels, cycling computers, ergomo, cyclops, mavic, cannondale, trek, orbea, specialized. Smartphones.
