My New Ride

Check out my new ride! After over 2,000 miles on my good ol' 2002 Specialized Allez, I decided it was time to upgrade. My new ride is a 2008 Orbea Diva--pink and all-- and I LOVE IT!!! With it's full carbon, women's specific frame, it's a whole new experience. My old bike was great, but I'm excited to put this new one to the test. I bought the bike about 2 weeks ago and I've already put about 175 miles on it. (Keeping in mind that I work full time and made it through finals week at UVU.) Woohoo!

Welcome

Hi! Welcome to my cycling blog! This is where I will try to entertain you with my road adventures and keep you up to date on my training efforts and upcoming rides. Sure, I make it sound like this blog is for the benefit of everyone else -- but really, it's just easier than scrapbooking all of this crap! ;) Enjoy!


This photo was taken in Waterton Lakes National Park, Canada, in August 2007. We went for a ride with my mom up Red Rock Road and saw 3 bears along the way. Eeek! There was a huge forest fire burning just across the border in Glacier National Park and the distant sky was hazy with smoke.
