    So many cheerleaders in this group! I Love it!
    Aggie--I like reading about your racing and am looking forward to following your season this year.

    With the very slow ushering out of winter, there's a chance I may not even get a trail ride in before the race! That's a little nerve racking. Nothing like getting thrown into the deep-end!

    Meh - riding on the trails before racing on them is over-rated

    Have fun, and enjoy! We'll look for the race report.

    Derek went out last night on his mtn. bike and ended up riding mostly gravel back-roads. He said there was still 10" of snow on a lot of areas of trail. Boo, Winter!

    That doesn't surprise me. Although, I hear the Yankee and Cannonsburg may be rideable. I'm gambling with the weather here, but I asked my mom to watch the kids one night next week with hopes that I can sneak out of work early and get some trails in. I'm afraid if I don't I'll spend too much time in the saddle, like a road race. Yesterday I road my mountain bike on the road and every time I came to a driveway, I had to stand up or sit back down. It kept me on my toes!

    For those of us not as familiar with with the acronyms (namely, me), DFL = Did Finish Last or Didn't Finish Last?

    I got DNF -- Did Not Finish, and DNS -- Did Not Start.

    Thanks, ladies, and good luck, Limewave! And Aggie, too!

    Our season is long, 8 races. I have already had three. I didn't report on the second one (the one pre-wrecking our truck and damaging my Fisher in the process). But I did do ride reports for my sponsor on FB which I have posted in the race results. Feel free to commiserate, maybe be inspired or heck be grateful it wasn't you!

    The race is this Saturday. With the weather the way its been and my very limited free-time (with the two kids, I have to plan way ahead and get babysitters if I want to mountain bike--and unfortunately pretty much every day I had a babysitter, it rained) I have only gotten in one short single-track ride.

    Oh well. What will be will be.
