bike for women - 2008



here's annie in her first ever road bike race.....results will be posted tomorrow, but, i think i did under 30min - 9 miles - i think that might put me in the top 50? we'll see... anyhow - it went good, i started to bonk at the end until that lady passed me, so, that got me going again - you can see me behind her - determined.

spring has arrived! --- finally


so, it's finally looking like spring here for us. it hit a little sooner in kodiak, thankfully. i escaped out there last weekend and was able to hit the bike trails that felix has been raving about. even wesley has his own mountain bike now. soon, i'm sure, he'll be going out with us. here's a link to some pics of our trails out there - http://forums.mtbr.com/showthread.php?t=399774 -- and no, that's not me riding, unfortunately. felix has found some other buddies to bike with when i'm not there. actually, it's only us and them and another guy who comes up sometimes in the summers - that's it! so, we're excited for them to get all thawed. wesley is excited about his bike, but, even more excited about the upcoming fishing season. he keeps asking his dad "when can we go fishing?" and telling me "man annie, i can't wait until the fish are here!" he's a pretty cool kid.

upcoming events - well, i have my first road bike race tomorrow. yes, i have a road bike now. and, i kinda like it. felix keeps teasing me saying "i'm just hoping this is a phase you'll grow out of." it sure beats not being able to do anything in this in between slushy muck trail season though! we're headed to southern utah the end of may on a, well, a bike trip of course. we'll be sure to take some pics down there. here's some recent pics of wesley and check out the link above to see felix biking kodiak. and in case you can't access the link - here's one of him looking especially cool....okay, two...
