23% Grade - This is What it Looks Like...

This lovely image is from the final stage of the 2007 Nature Valley Grand Prix in Minnesota. I was suffering pretty big time at this point - many thanks to Paul Forsythe, our team manager, for catching me at one of my 'finest' moments.... Our entire team did fabulous at that race - Catherine, Tamyra, Anne, Kristin, Corie, Marjan and Heidi are some tough chicks who can really move a bike. I am proud to call them my teammates!

I Never Thought I'd Do This But....

Here it is!! Welcome to my blog! I've been fortunate enough in my life to have an amazing and supportive family and a tremendous (and large!) circle of friends - and unfortunately it's difficult to keep in touch as much as I would like. For me, this blog is very much a way to keep connected so please feel free to post comments and photos - the more, the better!

I am going into this whole blog thing totally blind and have no idea what I'm doing but I hope to have it all up and running with regular posts (maybe once a week or so?), links to my website and various other things that I think are cool.....

Thanks for reading - stay tuned!!
