Finally getting to ride and enjoy being a Mom at the same time!



Well, the weather here in the Northeast has finally decided to cooperate and I managed to ride virtually everyday last week...totally awesome feeling. Sunday Sq-Earl and I went out to our local trails and rode the SMBA Dam Loop. I felt SO strong and managed to climb some sections that I generally spin-out on or just plain can't muster up the strength for. Monday was rest day. Tuesday, Syd & I headed out on the road so I could see how it felt to tow her trailer. We did a short ride (only about 30 minutes) around the house and had a blast so Wednesday we headed out for an hour ride. I really am blessed to have the world's greatest kid. She was clapping, singing and saying "Weeeee" when we went fast down a hill and even managed to fall asleep near the end of our ride. Thursday was our first LUNA Chix ride at the Pine Bush and Friday was our normal Friday night SMBA Ride.

Saturday Specialized was having a demo on our local SMBA Trailsystem so we headed down and I rode a Women's Stumpjumper and managed to catch a ride on a buddies new Transition Covert too. Both of the bikes performed well in the techy terrain I generally ride in and I was happy to test them out.

For mother's day, I really wanted to stay home and spend the day with my husband and daughter so we set up her new (to her) playset in the backyard and had a couple of drinks while my man cooked me a delicious steak, salad & fresh corn on the cob dinner. I really do have a great life!!!
