After an unexpected (and unfortunate) near-two weeks at home, I’m heading out to California on Friday for several events held in conjunction with the Amgen Tour of California. Lucky for me, I have the time to squeeze in a mountain bike race in Vacaville on Saturday before all the festivities begin. My schedule will go [...]

My previous posts on Sea Otter Classic focused mostly on my races. Knocking out my first weekend of professional mountain bike racing was a big deal, but it was far from the only thing I did while I out in California. In fact, my non-race activities far outnumbered the other things I had going on [...]

Let’s just say it wasn’t my day at Joe Martin. I arrived sick and had the performance to prove it. Luckily, Amanda Miller was feeling great and took the win on the opening stage time trial. It’s her first win this season. Amanda was the only rider to go under 10 minutes in the 2.5 [...]

Team TIBCO is in Fayetteville, AK to defend our NRC series team lead at the four day Joe Martin Stage Race. It’s my fourth year here. Last year, we took second overall at JMSR with Megan Guarnier and while she’s currently chasing UCI points in Europe with the U.S. National team, we’re hoping to go [...]

My cross country race is a wrap . My weekend of mountain bike racing at the Sea Otter Classic is in the books. I’m still standing – and grinning. The dirt is so much fun. When I started the race today, I was nervous (again!). This time my nerves had more to do with my [...]

I raced my first mountain bike race today. Well, okay not my first ever mountain bike race – but my first REAL mountain bike race. My first mountain bike race with the pros. I’m pretty sure I squeaked into the top-ten. I’m totally satisfied with this. Sea Otter has something for everybody, and while I’m [...]

I got a call-up tonight. Rolled up to the front line. Stood next to the other girls who had all already gotten their first race of the season out of the way. I anticipated nerves, energy, anticipation. Deep breaths.  Lots of deep breaths.   The gun sounded. I missed my pedal.   My call-up nullified [...]

Dear Megan, Congratulations on your super win today. You’ve had a fantastic start to the 2012 season with strong finishes in Europe and, now, first place on the first stage of what many consider the true kick-off to the US season. It’s strange not to be there and tell you this in person since I [...]

  My mountain bike and I spent more than ten hours together this week in Pueblo, Colorado Springs and Boulder. I mentioned earlier that throwing more mountain biking into the mix is one aspect of my new approach this season.  It’s an aspect I’m thoroughly enjoying. I’m recently started riding the Specialized Fate Carbon 29’er. [...]
