It's Home!

Wahoo!  I have my bike - it is home with me now!  I can't wait to get out on the road tomorrow!  Now I gotta come up with a name... Not quite sure. Its sexy enough to be a girl - but is going to kick butt like a guy.  Maybe Sam.... hmmm not sure.  I gotta ride it and think about it.

I did get to visit it at the bike shop last week.

Thanks to all my friends and family that helped me get this baby!

Gosh Darn Snow!

We finally got hit with snow.  I was so bummed - I really was not prepared to have snow.  I have been absolutely spoiled with such a mild winter but today I woke up and realized it was time to find my trainer.  As the day progressed I thought maybe I could get out on the road.  Thanks to my great coach Mark - he suggested we go for a ride in the afternoon.  What a most beautiful ride.  The sun was shining, the snow was glistening and the roads were clear!  I think we were the luckiest riders ever - to bad for the suckers that spent the day on their trainers :)

It's Here!

My bike is here - it wasn't supposed to be here until February!  This means I need more donations so I can get this baby paid for :) 

I will be racing for Bountiful Mazda this year - and with this team change came some wonderful sponsors and opportunities. Specialized being one of them - got such an amazing deal on this bike - just need a little extra to pay for it.

Isn't it SEXY!?!  Specialized Amira Pro with Electronic Shifting - oh yeah!  Now I just need to come up with a good name.

Training

December has been a great month for easy fun rides.  I am so happy to say that I have not been on my trainer yet!  We did some great riding in St. George and I am working with a coach to get ready for the upcoming season.  The season starts early in February with Callville.  I am so excited to start racing again - I miss it so much.

MOAB - Wahoo!

Thanksgiving was fantastic - I spent 4 days riding in Moab.  With almost 300 miles, and 15,000 feet - we had some great rides!  I was also able to claim 9 QOM titles on STRAVA while I was there.  We did run into a little snow - but that just adds to the fun right?  I think St. George will be next on the list for December.

UCA Awards

This really was an exciting year for me.  I took 2nd Place in the Utah Cycling Association Cat 4 Women.

Moab - Winter Training

I am so excited!  I am headed to Moab this week!  I get to spend 4 days on my bike.  WAHOO!!!  It is a little crazy I will be in the Mountain Biking capitol and I will be riding my Road Bike - but what do you do.  I can't fit both bikes in so it is one or the other and I have been dying to get back on my road bike - it has been a long week off it.
