Welcome back, chica!

Well alllllllll riiiiiiiiiigh! :beer:

Congrats on your awesome season! When are you coming to Chicago to race the Downers Grove Criterium? I listen for your name every year, but no Velo. :(

Hope to see you around the forums more often!

Downers Grove. It's been one that's interested me for quite some time. This year it wasn't a team race (the majority of our team is Canadian), but maybe next year it'll be on the list and I'll get to race it!

Heh nice to see a local hero (Holloway) is doing well too ...... very annoying that there's no real easy way to ride to the track from here, so becoming a trackie would mean buying a car again....

Yes, Holloway had a really good Worlds this year. I'm really going to be excited to see what he'll be doing next season.

Ha! It's a coincidence you mentioned that since it is what I'm currently trying to put into more concrete terms. For now I know I'll be doing the NRC thing come summer. This winter hopefully will bring some track racing. Beijing... :eek:

Just wanted to say congratulations on a fabulous season! My son & I have watched you train at T-town and enjoyed every minute of that. He wants to try motorpacing someday soon LOL

I just wanted to add to the congratulations list. :) Also, I've been to T-Town a few times this year, so I'm trying to connect a name to a face to a bike... are you one of the people who ride flourescent colored Tiedermeyer (is that the right name?) frames?

No, I ride for Victory Brewing, so my bike would be a red Specialized. Those bikes are Tiemeyers.

Aren't those something? I believe Shelbe Eck rides the fluorescent Tiemeyer pink frame, and Colleen Gulick has the bright yellow one.

I think I recognize that red S-Works, too... So now I have to go back to T-Town and keep an eye out.
