Rings, Parties and 11,307 Feet

As I write this post I am back in Europe. The sun is out and I am feeling motivated for the final race of the season in Schladming Austria. I have been feeling good these days, with lots of energy for fun and riding. I spent August in Whistler enjoying the Crankworks festivities, riding with my brothers, and accepting a marriage proposal from Richie. The Olympic rings were not in the cards this year, but the universe finds a way to make it up to you doesn’t it? It has been a pretty exciting month!

Engagement day. Richie is in heaven! :)

The final NORBA race of the year was held in Brian Head Utah. Altitude has never been my favorite, but I had a really great race that day finishing fifth. The air was thin at 11,307 feet, but my legs felt great and the trail was sweet. I can’t complain! It seems I now have the entire team coming to the Interbike Tradeshow in Las Vegas to celebrate my engagement. . . it will be fun!

Directly after Brian Head I boarded a plane to Europe to attend the Eurobike tradeshow. Richie was busy signing posters and making deals, so I had plenty of time to train and relax. The new Cyclepassion calendar was launched at the show, and I had a bit of fun signing autographs for the boys. Check it out at www.cyclepassion.com.

Thanks for checking in. This site is a work in progress, so come back soon to view my galleries and sponsor links.

Well, it’s time to train, then I am scheduled for a pedicure and a massage. Life is great!
