Saturday morning I decided I wanted to have my legs ripped off. I wanted to hurt so much all I could think about was each pedal stroke and how only through extreme concentration could I keep from vomiting all over my handlebars. And so I went for my first race paced team ride. It was a [...][...]

Ode to Forest Park
When Brett was killed, I rode my mountain bike in Forest Park. When me and A broke up, I rode my mountain bike in Forest Park. And, now, today, I rode my mountain bike in Forest Park through a few inches of slippery rutted mud on fire lane 5, giggling as I almost went over the edge [...][...]

On relationships

Cross Roads
I’ve been struggling to come up with a post to update this thing, other then some racing schedules. I feel utterly overwhelmed. I feel like I dropped all the focus I had way back in the fall and it exploded into a million different pieces, each with it’s own trajectory. When I think abou[...]

Updated Racing Schedule
I just realized I haven’t really looked at the OBRA schedule at all, or thought about training at all. Wow, how bizarre for me. Mountain Bike Schedule: April 11th – Horning’s Hustle (Hillsboro) May 9th – Cascade Chainbreaker MTB (Bend) May 30th – Sisters Stampede XC MT[...]
