\nby Bill Cullins
\nThis time last winter I was finishing cyclocross season and starting base training for the upcoming year. The 2009 season didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t work out the way I had planned, with health issues forcing me to miss most of the events I normally partcipate in.

FtW CycEx: The positive side of averages<\/strong><\/a>
\nby rab
\nStatistics generally annoy me as they are often used by people with an agenda. Sometimes fairly, sometimes downright fraudulently, which might only be noted by a good statistician, a set that does not include me.<\/p>\n

Averages are something I pay a lot of attention to, particularly this time of year, specifically, average temperatures.<\/p>\n
