Fight like Susan

Many of you follow FatCyclist. For those of you who don't, it's been an incredible journey.
The sharing and community that developed around Susan's battle with cancer was incredible.

Fight the good fight every day.

There is no guarantee you'll see tomorrow and we need to embrace each day and each moment fully.

Laugh often and ride.

Monday No-Drop @ Burchfield

We had another good group tonight, 15 or so. Had a younger rider so we spit the group up a but to cover both those who could ride farther/faster and the newer riders. Good time. Deer sighting. Did some technique and skills work with the youth rider.

No pics, lots of smiles and fun though!

Thriving beyond cancer

This cactus is a bit of a metaphor for me this year.
Comes through the winter and is all beaten down. Bits of it missing. There isn't that much to it after being covered in the heavy winter snows. This spring, it looked pretty rough. But that cactus is tough. It is a survivor. Now it has lots of new growth and more blossoms than it's ever had.

Full of life!!!
Thriving.

State CX Race

Weather was the word for the day.

Loads of snow at Waterford, Robert and crew did a stellar job of making the course a superb one to ride. A few super fast sections mixed in with some that were almost silly slow to remain upright. Thinking the lack of heat kept a few of the regulars away today. Temp got all the way up to 18-19 degrees by the start. Solid NW wind took the windchill into single digits. The sun though came through and was shining on us for the day.

Bicilibre did a fine job representing with Andy taking home the win in the men's 45+ race today. Things came together nicely for me as the season draws to a close. Repeat of last year's place for 2nd in the elite women. Fun day of racing, lots of folks braved to cold to cheer us all on.

Thanks to Kinetic Systems and Tailwind for a stellar job!

Even got to make it to the little guy's 3rd birthday party. Racing CX and playing with the grandson all in one day. Pretty sweet.

CX State Race Tomorrow

Forecast is more of what this past week has held. Chilly and there's quite the layer of snow down already.

Here's a shot from set up today (pic is by/from here)

Roller Tricks: It's almost that season

Perhaps given the snow and cold
