I Did It!

[mtbdarby]

Ok ladies,
I keep reading all of your wonderful accomplishments and I've been feeling like a slug over here so I made like Nike and Just Did It - I commuted home from my new job - a mere 28 miles! It was a gorgeous day Tuesday and my biking buddy agreed to pick up my 4 yo from daycare. I hopped on my beau-utiful Trek (Nanci, I think I'm gonna call him Forest - as in Gump - because I can ride to my hearts content on him like he just ran for a year).

Anyway, it took me an hour and 54 minutes to get home over rolling hills and about 10 miles of heavy city traffic. I saw turkey, quail, emu, horses, cows and deer on the way home. I ate a package of lime jelly bellys, drank my water and deflected several bugs off my teeth and felt like a million bucks when I got home! One goal down, here's what's coming up....

Saturday I will ride my first 6 hour mtb race solo . http://www.wemseries.com/GEARS05.html My biking buddy called this morning and will most likely head to the race with me and ride the mens 6 hour. Yippee! It's over 3 hours just to drive to the race and I would appreciate the company.

June 4th I get to meet Madisongirl at the Big Ring here in Wausau. http://www.wors.org/schedule/event.php?event=9 I'm planning on riding in the women's citizen class for my first WORS race.

I've been yearning for an adventure so here it is. After pming with SJCzar, I'd decided to ride GRABAAWR - 490 miles in 7 days at the end of June . http://www.24-9.com/ And she'll be riding too so I get to meet another TE woman! I'm so pumped up it's ridiculous but I just had to share this with you guys.

And all this will get me ready for my big race at the end of July - 24 hours of 9 mile http://www.24-9.com/ I will be deciding after this weekend if I'll be riding 12 hours solo or as a 4 person team.

Thanks for listening and for posting all your goals and accomplishments. It helps me to get out of my comfort zone and try new things which is what I want, I just sometimes need a kick in the dupa to get going.
