As well as attend all of the Women’s Pro National rounds with a finish in the top 10; Race a women’s race in Washougal; and race the International Vet race in Glen Helen. I would also like to spend a month in California to train at some point during the winter.

On an unrelated racing matter, I have an new addition to my house hold. I adopted a little feral kitten, who is coming around enough to catch a quick picture and spends some time now playing with my older cats tail.

ankle, which landed a severly bruised hip and foot peg into the same injured ankle. Leading to a fracture hip and then a chipped hip which all ended the season with pnemonia. Now Novembers verdicte of the specialist on both the hip and snkle will determine where I go for the winter months.
To say the least this season sure didnt meet all my expectations or meet any goals, but I made it out lucky really as I should make a fulll recoveries from the injuries. So actually after realizing how the accidents happened and time will be what heals the wonds, brakes, strains and teirs, there is only on thing to do, Look forward to next season for a more productive one, with some actual racing and with little injury.
So thank you to all of my sponsors for haning in there for a rough year.

Stephen has lost his battle to recover form his injuries. Best wishes go out to his family in this difficult time. RIP Stephen Glenn Tollestrup III born Sept 18 1990- Died Sept 18 2009 on his 19th Birthday.

Still on the mend and its just over half way there. Mid November I get checked out by a specialist to see if surgery will be happening or not. In the mean time I have been cleared to ride with out doing jumps, whoops or hard impacts, so flats and turns but how many tracks are like that..lol. So I do go out to the local track and ride slower practicing technic and trying to improve my corners and occationally get excited and do a few jumps and then pay for it in pain later, Looking forward to next season more polished and ready to twist the throttle.

Wow this really is the slowest healing process I have ever had but then I was told November and it is only Selptmeber.  The good news is that I am able to get on the bike and ride ever so slowly, limiting on jumps and turns, but its still riding and Im glad for that.  I can just work on proper riding positions that I can manage with my hip and ankle.  Some angles are quit unplesent still.  All in all just happy to get some time on the bike even if Im not cleared  to race it.
  Thanks to all my sponsors or there continued support throu this long healing process.
