DHS GIRLS DISTRICT CHAMPS.

St. Andrews by the sea.

Xmas tree beach style.

This being the first true winter for me, there has not been as much time on the bike, but that does not mean I have not been active. XC (classic) has become part of my routine, along with returning to the pool. I am feeling much more excited about putting my front wheel on the line again. The biggest difference would be that the tires that will be on my bike will have much more tread, meaning mountain bikes will be what is making this year a fun one on the bike.
Off the bike, this year has been tons of fun working for The Liberty School, both in the classroom and outdoors with hikes, sledding, playing and learning in the river and exploring everywhere in between.
When I first moved to Durango, I was not sure if this was somewhere I would like to stay for a while, but with enough single track to ride for days on end and never have to do a trail twice. Even when all that trail you never have to drive your car w/bike to get to any of the trails. Then you have tons upon tons of people to ride with. Off the bike there is the Animas River for swimming/tubing/fishing etc. So, pretty much I cant imagine leaving a place that has everything you could want and just outside the front door!!

Long Time

Many things have transpired since the last time I have posted an update, so I hope to be diligent and get most of the stories posted here. I also hope that since much time has passed since the last post I did not lose a lot of readership.
