Just posting to say that there really hasn't been much going on. Lots of training, recovering, yoga, eating, and sleeping. Riding has been better than expected for the middle of winter. As long as the trails are snow packed and not melting too much the riding is very nice. I have switched teams for the 2008 season. I will be riding for a local bike shop called Procycling. Through Procycling I will be riding (to victory, I hope) on an Orbea Oiz. I have already been riding one since November of 2007. I love it! I am truely happy with the way the Oiz handles, and I am very excited to race on one for the 2008 season. I am very happy with my trianing this off season, just half to wait and see if it is actually going to work. My goals for 2008 insist of the overall in the Mountain States Cup Series and to pickup most if not all of the National Series as well. It's a lot to bite off, but I definitely think it is possible. I will drop back in a couple of days and update ya'll with pics and info on my steed for the 08' season, she is already at the shop gettin built, so it will be soon.
I did have a little family trip down to Arizona and while I was there I checked out the course and riding area for the NOVA Classic Race in McDowell Mountain Park just outside of Fountain Hills, AZ. It was really nice to actually ride in dirt and 65 degree weather. The type of riding out there was absolutely awsome! Really fast and smooth winding single track through groves of HUGE cactus. It was a memorable experience on the bike. The NOVA Classic is the second stop in the National Series. I think it would be a really fun race, although it definitely doesn't favor my type of riding, this course is for flat power riders and not so much for the small climbers like me. But, I wouldn't mind suffering through that race because the course is so much fun! Well, til next time, keep the rubber side down, but most of all keep it real.
