We had a fun 15 mile ride today at Morris Bridge. Good Luck to everyone racing at Alva! ...And see you at the final race at Santos.

FSC #6 San Felasco

Up, down...Up, down...Up, down. If you raced on Sunday at San Felasco, you know exactly what I am talking about!! 10 hard climbs, with no breaks in between. I was definitely shocked to find out the course had been changed. What happened to the nice flowing course from last year?? I was hoping for something easy after that crazy Alafia race, but it so wasn't happening. Oh Well...What do you do when you are up for a challenge? Try your hardest and hope for good results. Thank Goodness the course is only 7 miles long.


This is so awesome... Look, I actually get to race boys about the same age as me.

The start of the race was really hard, especially the uphill grassy climb. I just couldn't keep up with the lead group. But, I was OK with my position in the race. Only 1 boy passed me, so I knew I was still ahead of the rest of the boys. And...about a mile into the race, I kept wondering why my Dad was going so slow. I thought to myself, I must be on fire today because I'm leaving my Dad in the dust. Later, after I had a small crash going down a hill, I found out that my Dad was having some serious bike issues. His handle bars were super loose and his pedal fell off and was stuck to his shoe. I think it's time for a NEW bike Dad!! Anyway, I was actually liking the course today. I didn't dread the climbs and before we knew it the race was over.

I ended up coming in 10th place out of 16 racers. I'm very happy with how I did on Sunday and wouldn't change a thing.

Am I Ready???

Yes, I will be racing this weekend. Am I ready?...who knows!! Don't laugh, but my weekday training consists of: racing around a pond and sprints with my Mom (she's not as slow as she looks). I had to pick a sport that is the hardest to get any practice. It's not like soccer where you have to practice 3 times a week in a field a mile away. For me to get any practice, I have to drive an hour, which is impossible because I can't drive and my Dad doesn't get home until 8:00. So for now... I will have to stick with pond racing and sprints and hope for the best. And oh yeah, I hate the trainer in the garage. Pure torture!!

Been A Long Time

It's been a long time since we rode the trails at Boyette. We usually try to avoid this place during the summer time because it's too hot. But now, with this awesome weather, it was fun to be back here riding. Our ride started off super smooth. My sister cleared Loch Ness and Spider Berm. She was on fire until she took nasty spill on Golf Cart. No worries, Kiki's tough, she hopped back on her bike... and we continued our ride.

What you think of my new helmet?? First time without a visor.


After riding a couple more trails, we ended up here. We were trying to decide where to go, when Kiki looked down at her leg and noticed it was bleeding pretty bad (from her previous crash). My Dad took a quick look at it and made the decision that we should head back.

We took all the easy trails back to the car, then my Dad butterflied Kiki up. On the way home, we all agreed, expect for Kiki's crash, it was a great ride. The weather was crisp, the trails flowed perfectly, and it was nice to be riding someplace different for a change.
