Training, skiing, birthdays (other people's), visitors & fun...

Cramming it all in before the race season starts again. Oh, it starts this weekend!?! I guess the cramming is all over. What have I been doing? Well, not blogging, that is for sure. I had to start training again, so trying to whip myself back into shape after a non restful break. Moving is not the best way to 'rest', that is for sure, but among all the chaos, my parents left, Tim had a birthday and he did his first bike race of the season to celebrate. Wendy turned 40 and we threw a little party, I attempted to ski at meadows for the first time this year and got shut down due to wind. We XC skied for O'Malleys birthday instead. I did my first road race of the year, house stuff continues, Gina and Hal came to visit, I did my first (and only) mtb ride of the year (so far) and we had my brother and his kids out for a ski week. But I left them in Oregon and now I am in California awaiting the inevitable pain of the first mountain bike race of the season! Stay tuned...

Thanks for your help mom and dad!

Tim's post race birthday celebration.

Wendy actually blew out all 40 candles.

O'Malleys birthday xc ski. Would have rather been riding the lift making turns in fresh pow!

My new buddy Calvin. Gina & Hal's latest addition.

Abi and Alec, my two little snow buddies!

A quick visit to Portland to see Uncle Timmy.

The gorge in all its lovliness! I love riding my mtb.
I hope the rainbow is a sign of good things to come!
