Training: You might be an off-season cyclist if: By Tom Soladay

Your massage stick hurts because it’s pulling the hair on your legs.
You don’t know when to shower anymore.
You are one of a thousand experts on every group ride.
You started walking places.
You make time for other peoples interests.
You just finished spring cleaning.
You are looking to replace gear that worked fine all season long.
You are motivated.
You eat continuously or you bonk.
You finish feeling sick, not hungry.
You feel that someone changed your bike position without your consent.
You hope you got a head start on your competition.
You have renewed sympathy and are now waving to other cyclists.
Your hopes and dreams are once again intact.
You love your bicycle and where it can take you.
