tales from the saddle..and a few other ramblings

single momma of 12+ years who finds sanity pedaling, kickboxing, running (preferably not in circles), and practicing yoga. this space is a smattering of my thoughts, rants, reflections and reality on any given day about mostly those topics and sometimes whatever floats my boat...like bleu cheese, naps, great hugs and marketing things. There are no perfect themes, fairy tales or mincing of words. if you cannot deal with an occasional cuss word you should probably just keep on keeping on.

I Should Probably Mention....

(yes, this picture is indeed a joke)

...that I raced.
My bike.
Last week.

It was a time trial and the wind was blowing approximately 57 miles per hour. In my face. Both directions. Okay, that might be a bit of a stretch. But it was freaking windy. Thankfully, the wind WAS on the way out and not on the way back, would would have meant a certain death for me.

The good (okay, freaking AMAZING, UNBELIEVABLE) news is that I won my division. I also dry heaved off the side of my bike, am fairly certain in that short 21 minutes that I paid dearly for all my youthful lung related sins but I will keep those details to myself.

Carry on.

Elkhart TT is always great for those wanting to experience dry heaves! Good job out there.
