Race season, here I come!

Well, it's been a busy week for me even thought I didn't have school. I spent quite a bit of time running errands, going to Dr. appointments and getting household crap done, as well as spinning and playing with Sydney. I also managed to secure some additional sponsorship for my 2007 race season. I am proud to announce my sponsors thus far: Trailblazers Bike & Sport in Victor, NY, ProGold Lubricants, and Elete. I am really psyched to have some sponsorship for this season and hope to add a few more names to my list as well.

Now that we have more than 3 feet of snow on the ground, trail riding has become a bit more difficult, so I have been sticking to the rollers, pilates, weights and the ever fun exercise ball. I did mange to hit the trails on my snowmobile and had a blast getting back into riding that...brap! I haven't ridden in over a year (preggo and didn't have snow last winter) and I learned that I could still jump and keep up with the boys :D

February already -- oh how time does fly!


Wow! I really am bad at keeping this updated. I need to make a much more conscious effort and will try to do so. Well, a lot has happened in the past 2 months. My daughter turned 1, I finally got back into my spinning routine, I picked-up some sponsorship from Trailblazers Bike shop in Victor, NY for the upcoming race season and I finally got back on my snowmobile after taking all of last season off.

I am super excited about this race season and am looking forward to the spring weather so I can take Syd out on some training rides with me in her new Burly trailer. She loves being outside so I am really hoping she enjoys our rides together. I have also applied for a new job MUCH closer to home (fingers and toes are crossed) so if I get that, it means I will be cutting my commute down a great deal. Currently, I drive about an hour each way and the new positions are all within 20 minutes (by car) so that means I can finally park my car and do some bike commuting too!!!

Anyway, I hit the frosty trails for my husband's birthday and we had a great time riding the Lock 7 trails in Niskayuna/Schenectady and since then we got about 3 feet of snow so it's back to the rollers for me. I have been trying to log atleast 30 minutes everyday, and have just gotten a couple of training videos to try out so we'll see how that goes.

I am also anxiously awaiting word from Team LunaChix as to whether I was accepted to start a local chapter. I have LOTS of plans for the upcoming season including an XC clinic, a DH clinic, 4 races and lots of fun rides in between so I can't wait!!!
