My Blog

I forgot to mention that I started an Adult Gymnastics class/Boot Camp training a couple of times a week!

My husband thinks I may be having an early mid-life crisis, but I think NOT

I thought it would be a great addition to my life and it makes me feel great!!

He knew I was still flexible and could cartwheel, but he didn't know I could still do back-handsprings and work the balance beam - ha ha

You are never too old to start up something new or to go back to fun things from our youth and besides what a great addition to my training for racing

So, I have been staying busy!

Scott and I have been riding up in the Mountains where it is cooler and let me tell you what - that dang Raptor is heavy, wide, and doesn't like to cooperate and turn for me. I really like the change of scenery and the riding is very technical - I really like the challenge!! I only got myself in trouble one time and it was nothing really - I hit a boulder with the right tire when I was trying to squeeze between two boulders on either side of me and well when I hit it I tried to gas it to shove the quad over a bit and would have been fine, but the dumb rear tire caught and spun me around a 90 degree and I rammed into the opposite boulder pretty fast and hard and jammed myself in there. Now did I mention that I was climbing a steep hill at the same time?? Aw-well it was at the end of the day and I was tired from riding for hours (excuses? Yup!)
Anyways, everyone had a safe and fun day of riding and I only ended up with a few bruises a dented bumper and oh yeah it had rained the day before so I was covered in mud from the mud holes that only I couldn't avoid  - Good Times :-)
