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.

$1000

Well I am at $1000!  Thanks to my friends and family!  It still is not too late to donate.  :)  I wouldn't want any of you to feel like you missed out.
