Next year I'll be riding with Epic Endurance again, this time in the form of The Gear Movement/ Epic Pro Cycling. First race is coming right up, the 24 hours of Old Pueblo. I'm looking forward to this year, the team has a great atmosphere to be in, and I'm sure we'll pull off some solid results! In addition, Deidre is going to be also on the team next year, which is exciting.
The mountain bike season ended with Collegiate Mountain Bike Nationals in Angelfire, NM. It snowed a whole bunch before, so the course was pretty treacherous. The cross country went okay, chain suck prevented me from using the little ring so I cramped my way to 8th. The short track went better with a 4th. I was happy to finally be able to race collegiate nats, and scoring a podium felt great.
After that I did some cyclocross races, until I broke my wrist in one of them. Unfortunately it was two weeks before the Pittsburgh Dirty Dozen, which I was gunning for. I ended up taking an entire week off with the wrist, and then trying to ride a little bit before the race. Steevo and I traded wins, and then due to a dropped chain I was out front by a bit. Unfortunately my wrist started to hurt too much to pull on the bars or shift, and I decided to throw in the towel and not mess with the healing too much.
I took some time off the bike, and then started up when I got to California. It's been great here, the weather is warm and there are good roads to train on.

Too much time in California will make you soft...!
