It's Been Awhile

It's been sometime since the last post...was not fun losing Sweetie, we will always have a very large and warm spot in our heart for her...and yet this past weekend our new Golden Retreiver male puppy was born (the day after Valentines)...we'll be able to bring him home in approx. 8 weeks, and we are very anxious to have a pup running around the house again...His dad placed 17th at the Westminster dog show this past month, and mom is a gorgeous champ herself (looks alot like Sweetie)...thats the pictures...

It's been awhile since posting what this site is about...MOUNTAIN BIKING!!!...
And looking at my last post, you all have missed out on my spectacular bloddy crash...all is okay now, but ya gotta check out my Flickr site (located in the side bar)...and look up DHing in Gambrill..check out the video...my son-in-law did a good job at capturing my clean up in the creek and the cracking noise as I straightend my nose back...not for the weak stomach though...:) Been really loving the down hilling though and am looking forward to all the traveling and racing this summer...I did sign up for a XC race at the end of March...I will take it easy with NO expectations other than just participate and have fun...It is at Patapsco the local stomping grounds we all ride at every week...Yes the doctor hasn'e givin the okay yet, but I will ride it like it is just a normal "fun" ride...I can do it, the competition won't "pump" me up...I know the risk invloved, and certainly don't want that outcome...it's just that it is on the trails I ride constantly so I just have to do it!!! Those of you that ride "might" understand...

But this summer should really be fun...it takes stamina, but not that cardio blast for such a long extended period like XC...
