Well seeing as I just started riding this year...

1) Discovering the Road Bike, the joy of the open road, learning how to sit on a wheel, parks tool school, my first overhaul on a friends bike, all the initial joys of cycling.

2) My first race, 42 mile road race with a pro in the pack, and I was only 4 seconds behind her. That was toward the end of the season, so I only got 3 more races in after that, but I am psyched for spring!

3) My first Mt. Bike race, I struggle to take the risks I need to take on single track, but race mentality took over and I had a blast! (and got 3rd)

I just can't get over how much I love the bike, what did I do before the bike? I ran, but only 40-60 minutes a day, I'm on the bik 1.5-4 hours a day now. I have no clue how I spent my time before.
