hanging out

A three day weekend began with a morning of strength training followed by a victory lap through the Valley and an afternoon at Terri D’s spa. Ahhh...steam rooms, massages and relaxation. Although the relaxation turned into a Seinfeld moment when a red hot bootie jumped out of the steam room and ran to the fridge for a bottle of Evian. Woa! I guess she overheated. The evening mellowed out with a birthday celebration at Carvers - a place we visited often this weekend as Miles’ parents were in town. There was a lot of story telling, coffee drinking, good eating, Main Street shopping and Vallecito skiing.



as the bikewheel spins

This week I bought my plane ticket to Curacao for the World Cup. A bike race on the beach...how sweet is that!

A new Trek TT bike (nope, not mine) is the inspiration behind March is Bike in Arizona Month. I haven't decided if I'll be racing or training or both?

Theresa and I made the latest issue of Mountain Bike Action...and not just a tiny pic of us pushing our bikes.

Thanks to Gully who hooked me up with Hutchinson tires. There is nothing better than a Python!

Congrats to Ranger June (Kim) who finished 2nd overall next to my Orbea sister, Christina, at the desert classic in Lajitas (Terlingua).

Gina and Kayla came up to Purgatory for a day of skiing. We made our way down Demon and to Purgy’s for pizza.

Last week was 6 days of 12 intensity workouts. I love those weeks. Sunday was a rest day so Miles and I took Bella and Silo for a hike on the Colorado Trail. Eventually we ran into some snow but the trailhead was as dry as summer.

Wherry and I were Monday’s guest stars at Dr. Frank’s filming. The SRA guru is creating an exercise video for cyclists and I can attest, it’s good stuff.

Check out Sven’s poster...it’s finally finished so I may have time to work on my own sponsorship. Or at least blog more than he does.

Last week’s Marketing Meeting was on the mountain at Dante’s. We made our way up the six pack, through the forest and over the hill for some serious fun.


Grady is race ready! Matt and Loryn patiently wait for Smallheer....*sigh* board-ers!

More powder time on Friday and Saturday at the annual She Ride Board Camp. A great group of girls and awesome weather made the day of carving a blast!

snow down

To celebrate winter, we rode the cruisers to Durango’s parade on Main. Whip cream shots kept our energy levels up for the climb to Steamworks and sprints down 2nd Ave. It’s always fun until someone gets hurt. This time it was the Schwinn. She popped a tire, lost the battle and called it a night.
