Fall

Well, It has been too long since my last post. I finished well at the Green Montain stage race over Labor Day Weekend and then I took a two week break off of the bike. Before I talk about what I have been doing though, I want to talk a little bit about my season overall. I competed all over the country, took two trips to Belgium, and met a lot of my goals. I upgraded to category 2 and I adjusted to the faster and longer racing pretty quickly. I want to thank everyone that has supported me for making this season so great. I would like to thank all of the older category 1/2 riders for teaching and watching out for me in races. I want to thank Lucas Wall for being so patient with me and coaching me to be my best. I am very thankful to everyone who has encouraged me and sent me nice messages over facebook and in person. It helps knowing that other people are in your corner. Finally, I would like to thank my family, they are the most important people in my life and nothing comes before family.

After taking the two week break I eased back into training and hit up the books. Now I am putting in a lot of time on the bike and preparing for the next season. I have signed with a very exciting team for next year (that I will announce soon) and I have a lot of cool races and goals on my calender. Everything is going alright in my life right now and I am pretty happy. This upcoming season is going to be great. Thank you for reading.
Sincerely,
Richard Rainville
