Back to Santa Fe

After Gila ended I drove up to Santa Fe and spent 2 weeks resting, training, packing and getting myself ready for the next adventure on the road.  It was a bit stressful because I was packing to be away for about 5-6 months.

Aside from training and packing I made time for something very important to me.  I visited my old elementary school and talked to the 6th graders about being a pro cyclist.  Ted Freedman, my PE teacher from the school, was my biggest motivator to begin running and still follows my journey.

It was great to be back on home desert roads in New Mexico

I was also in Santa Fe at the perfect time for this years Bike & Brew Festival.  Its only the second year but it was a great event and so many people.  I spent time at my sponsors tent, Santa Fe Brewing Company and met some new bike lovers too.

Once I left the plan becomes a bit complicated with travel and racing all over … the world.

So here’s a rundown update on results and travel so far:

North Carolina

-USA Pro Nationals, 28 May – 35th

For Winston-Salem, Since they were UCI races I had to be a part of a team, so I guest rode for Fearless Femme.  It was great to put on the kit and race for such a great team.

-Winston-Salem UCI Road Race, 30 May- 20th

Then I’ll come back to Canada for some more training

After that I plan to spend some time working and/or resting away from racing.
