So do you know that show "The Amazing Race"? Lately, I feel like I have been in my own version of the amazing race. Since I last wrote from Arizona, I have been back to Massachusetts, across the coast to California, home for a day, across the pond to Europe, and back home again. The last few weeks have been a crazy blur, and unfortunately, wireless was hard to come by. So here I sit, with so much to write about that I am overwhelmed! I promise to write more frequently in the future.
Since I last wrote, I was home for a few days and then was off for a big mountain bike race in Monterey, California. I had a SWEET set up in an RV right on the race grounds. The Adam's family (Tracy, Neil, Madeline) was nice enough to put me up in style. Though we had never met, somehow they knew that the key to my heart was food! After a few feedings, we got along famously. I warned them that unless they stopped feeding me, they would not be able to get rid of me. Tracy and Neil have a daughter named Madeline. She was so cool, and amazing on a bike. The four of us shared the RV, and Neil and Tracy were also put to work as race support. They were AWESOME!
The racing went well, and I was able to use my brand new Lynskey Mountain Bike. The bike is amazing to ride, hands down, the best I have ever ridden. It is tough though to be upstaged by a bike. When greeted at the race, no longer did people look at me. Their eyes were immediately drawn to my beautifully painted titanium bike. I guess this is not the worst problem to have!
