Well I'm fully into pre season training right now and the race season starts at the beginning of June. Sadly the race at Big Bear has been cancelled and now the first race is in Utah. I was really looking forward to BB as I never go to sea otter and BB is kinda the kick off to the season. This year I will be doing most of the western Norba's as well as the world cup in New Mexico. I will also be trying to defend my national title for the third year in Canada.

If any of you are coming to any of the races please come up and introduce yourself, I'm always happy to meet new people.

Chelle -
Welcome to the forum! Please let us know if you're ever racing on the eastern side of the continent - I'd love to see one of your races, but it's a bit far to travel...

NORBA @ Schweitzer? I usually do something there to help out, first aid or marshalling.

Sorry I've missed some of the new people, this darn forum updates all the new threads every time you've visited, even if you haven't read them all yet so I lost about 2 days worth of threads!

To everyone that posted somewhere around the 10/11 of May, Welcome to the board, nice to meet ya and hear from everyone!!!!

CM - The world cup mtb. race is in Angel Fire on July 10. It's always fun to watch the downhill, mt. x, and dual slalom. Not sure if all those events are going to be at Angel Fire.

Real name: Carmen

Where do you live? Olathe, KS

Explanation of your handle: It’s what everyone calls me.

Explanation of your avatar: Need to find one.

Age (general or specific) 48 and never felt better.

Occupation: IT Project Manager, mother and aspiring quilt artist.

Favorite bike: Trek Pilot

What's in your stable? Trek Pilot 2.1 (Speedy) and Cannondale C500 (Pokey).

Fastest speed on a road bike? 35 MPH, going down a very steep hill during a group ride. The guy behind me said he could smell my brakes the entire time. I don’t feel comfortable going that fast.

Another picture of yourself or your ride? Don't have any yet!

What is the biggest lie you've ever told: My weight on my driver’s license – it’s what I weighed before I got pregnant with my son. The woman at DMV rolled her eyes when I told her my weight and she said “are you sure?”. I use it as a goal to strive for.

Most memorable moment on my bike: I tried out a new bike trail that I can only describe as an enchanted forest. The trees were sky high, the path was so cool because of the deep shade and it was ever so quiet. I was the only one there riding on this wonderful path. It took my breath away.

Most fun ever had on a bike? Flying down Nicollet Street on my CoasterKing bike with playing cards in my spokes.

Thanks RoadRaven. I have learned so much in the short time I have been visiting this board.

KS = Kansas, the state God made to block the headwinds from cyclists in Missouri. Some days the winds are just terrible.

Carm -
Thanks for bringing back memories for me. I spent (a very hot) 8 days in your state during my 2002 cross-country tour, and I remember the wind. I was lucky though - most days it was coming from the side (sometimes combined with a headwind), and I even had a day of tailwinds! Dumb luck, I guess.
