Fultzie,

Yeah, I'm thinking of checking out a Metro-Detroit area race so I don't have to travel far, etc. since I have to spectate first Maybury is about 45 min. from me, so not far at all. I'm not sure when that race is and I'll have to check my travel schedule with the mtn. bike race schedule, but I'd love to meet and do coffee It's funny 'cause last night, my hubby was like, "you need to hang with other mtn. biking women."

Other notes...
I had a big a-ha moment yesterday...LOL. I came to 100 percent alignment or okay-ness with being a mtn. biker My hubby asked me why I had ever started racing the road in the first place. I answered, "I don't know." That's a sign if you ask me! Geesh!

Also, had asked the Universe for a sign (I should have said, "gentle sign, please" about road vs. mtn. biking)...well, on last night's road ride, two cars in this park I ride at were going 70 mph at least in a 35 mph area and one was trying to pass the other...We had to duck off to the side of the road for safety. I mean, there's crazy drivers everywhere, but I so rarely encounter them in this park that it reminded me of the quiet serenity that is off-road...when your hazards are rocks, roots, your own stupidity LOL, deer, squirrels, etc., but at the same time, you enjoy being in nature and respecting the stillness and gifts She brings to us

The funny thing is that I have more energy. I literally feel as though a weight was lifted off my shoulders. I feel much more peaceful. I like the idea of training and riding for fun until I get myself back up to par with my Mtn. Biking Goddess-ness again

So, my question is...where do I send my checks$$ for the psychological counseling LOL? You guys were and are so awesome...You really helped me be more okay with my decision and well, being the real me Thank you so much!

Lots of love and hugs!!
