Wow, that feels so nice to be able to say! I can’t imagine a better season; it’s been so much fun being on the road with great teammates, coaches and friends. Thanks to everyone who helped to make this year the adventure it’s been! Wednesday we had the hill climb…
This is shameful, but I happen to have more pictures from our tour of the Ben and Jerry’s ice cream factory than I do of the racing this week. Obviously, my priotities have already started shifting to vacation and “off-season” mode! However, the season’s not quite done yet, and we’ve…
Right now I’m in Vermont, soaking up as much sun as I possibly can (and yeah, getting burned too) and getting ready for the upcoming slush-fest known as spring series. I can hardly believe that it’s gotten up to 80 degrees here and somehow the Craftsbury Outdoor Center has saved…
