Out goes Road and In Comes Cross!

This weekend is our very last road race of the season (year) and even though we are sad to see it go, we are SUPER stoked to see Cyclocross Season start up! We are hitting Chattanooga this weekend to visit our friends at Scenic City Velo for the Village Volkswagon River Gorge Omnium http://www.sceniccityvelo.com/content.php?id=rivergorge <-------- see link here. It's gonna be so much fun and we will get to see all our roadie friends one last time before Cross Starts. Our first MSG Cyclocross Race see link here ---------> http://www.msgcross.com/wordpress/  is September 29th! J-man is soooo excited that's all he can talk about is Cross Season! Look at my little chunky monkey on one of his very first cyclocross races!



On a different note, school has started and 8th grade is rolling right along. I am excited for US History this year but to be honest that's the only subject I can deal with! J enjoys math (not sure why?) and science! If I can just keep feeding him books of interest (aka cycling books) we may survive this year!
 Stay tuned for pics and updates from the weekend!

Down Time

What a nice relaxing week it's been. J decided not to go to Crossroads Classic last week so mom could breathe a little easier...... So in place of all that excitement we have just decided to chill. Not to be mistaken for being lazy. No races but still plenty of riding. Found this little cutie on my way back from lunch just riding his heart out.
Of course I even joined in one "slow, easy, ride" day... I was pretty proud of myself the guys made me climb some crazy hills but I hung right in there for a girl.

The most exciting news of all this week is, we have a new member of the family as of yesterday. Yep a new bicycle! Cyclo-cross (CX) is coming up and J needed new wheels so he has worked and saved his money all summer long for a new bike. Those of you who do not know J like I do, this kid babies his bicycles and when I say baby I mean he sleeps surrounded by them and he cleans them every time they leave the house (which is a few times a day). Cyclo-cross (CX) is by far the fave around the house. It's pure fun to watch and J obviously thinks its pure fun to race so everyone's happy!

He can't wait to get this beauty nice and muddy!!
