A new year, a new blog routine.

Where do I begin?  Since I last blogged, I got a blender for Christmas; the shed outside the house Kyle and I are living in had the door knocked down with a sledge hammer and Kyle’s CR1 was stolen with my race wheels on it (which I had not paid for yet); the bike has since been returned after being purchased from a junkie for 200 bones; a New Year has arrived; I went skiing for the first time since high school; I did some yard work and painted some bedrooms; I paid for my recently returned race wheels; Kyle and I adopted a dog; the dog got fixed; the fixing was not so successful; the dog’s scrotum became enlarged - larger than a softball; the dog is back under the knife today; I rode Madera Canyon on Saturday; hell froze over…

Bottom line, winter break was not so much a break after all.  I can’t wait to go back to school and get back into some sort of “normal” routine.

The dog’s name is George Washington Hayduke.  Google-it if you don’t know who that is.

Next weekend I’m off to Phoenix for a 12 Hour MTB Race with my new team.  Oh, by the way, I’m riding for a road team this year.  Yes, everyone, you heard that correctly…ROAD TEAM…Specialized Designs for Women/ Bicycle Haus, to be exact.  I’ll still be racing the pro mountain bike circuit as much as possible, but I’m learning how to be a roadie.  Yea, I told you, hell did freeze over.
