It's time!

2014 will bring my first full year as an employed ESL teacher. Now that I'm back on an academic year schedule I have more $ security but less time. Hmm, I remember how this works!
So, I've signed up with a big touring cyclist club to learn how to be a trip leader. The requirements: have some experience doing long distance self supported touring (check) and be ready to learn management of group dynamics along with all the other logistics. Sort of sounds like my typical classroom management!
This March I will spend 4 days near Buellton, CA, in Santa Barbara County, north of Los Angeles.
This gives me a little motivation to keep bike commuting this semester.
I'll also need to relearn how to pack and unpack and repackage my full sized bike for a plane ride.
