Girls' Cabin Weekend

For those who weren't there- you missed a great time!  The cabin was perfect (thanks Missy for planning), the food was prepared (thanks to Greg the team mom for packing our meals), the skiing was perfect (thanks to Missy the tour guide), and we were full of good times.

Next year you should all come!

Skiing in Rocky Mountain National Park!

Only tough girls can use duct tape for blisters.

Semi-group shot.  Wait, why are there 2 Missy's?

No, Jill was not showing us her hip-hop moves.  And, no Jill was not the only one to show us how graceful she is... I just happened to catch this one on camera!

No girls' weekend would be complete without some serious partying.

Oh ya, puzzles are good times!

This is what snow looks like coming at your handlebars at 30-40mph! Sure the road is clear and it's above freezing, but the windchill is nasty. Makes the winds at Hugo and Dead Dog seem refreshing! Good thing I was commuting with my backpack to make me more aerodynamic, I'm sure it made a difference.
I think Cari's got the right idea by riding indoors on the track!

Track Camp, Para Style

One goal for me this year is to make it to Beijing with the US Paralympic Team.  So, this week I ventured out to join the team and my partner at track camp in LA.  Karissa is the "stoker" or the blind rider there on the back. 

 These athletes are super talented... super talented!  I am not sure I have worked this hard in previous track camp... um, ever.

 

No training camp would be complete without ruining a hotel room.  Our room turned into the mechanics closet when we decided to change out the fork.  The cleaning people hate us.

One more day.  I think I can, I think I can.
