road bike that is! Greetings from Ft Collins!! Wow, what a Saturday so far, and I haven’t even ridden yet. I had an overwhelmingly busy week, so to just sit on the couch and not be in a hurry to get anywhere feels so good. That, and the yummy eggs and coffee that are digesting in my tummy.

Today, Jeff and I are heading up Rist Canyon outside of Fort Fun. I have never ridden it before (and I don’t think we are going to the top). He is on his structured plan for 09, but I still have the freedom to go as hard or as easy as I want, and do other fun things. So while he is groveling up the Canyon, I’ll hang back and jam to my ipod. I will soon have a playlist on my blog for all to hear, I just have not had a chance to get it up and running yet. My formal training starts in about a week. I have a new coach who I am very excited about, and will be announcing that information in the next week as well. I have my compact crank to try out today.

I received some awesome clothes from Kuhl Clothing this week and am LOVING it. :) It looks good, but it’s also technical wear. Yeah, engineers like the word “technical.” Big THANKS to them.

Since the snow fall is right upon us, I am getting some snowshoes for the winter. It’s a good thing I worked an extra 12 hours this week…now I can sort of afford them. hee hee I will be getting these:

MSR-WLA25-2T

and these:

MSR has good stuff. I love the pics on their website too. Rugged mountains are pretty much the best thing ever.

Stay tuned, I’ll be getting my 2009 race schedule up and running soon. I wish the MSC schedule would come out so it can be more official. I will be doing half endurance, and half XC. I can’t wait…and next year I won’t be anemic OR have a broken tailbone. WOOOOT!
