2010

2009 has been good to me. I can't complain! I was able to cycle over 1,600 miles and I look forward to more miles in 2010. I've become a sponsored rider and have many races that I'm looking forward to in 2010.

Happy New Year's to everyone! Take a cab tonight and I hope 2010 brings everyone great luck!

P.S. 2010 goals and resolutions to come!

Merry Christmas!!!

Happy Holidays to everyone and for those of us celebrating Christmas, have a very merry one! So as expected my will power is low leaving my blood sugar high but added testing has helped minimize the craziness! I love to eat, what can I say???

I'm excited for some time off of work and to spend more time with the people I love instead of at work. It's been 55 plus hour weeks for almost the past month. Then a crazy illness of some sort cut me down two weekends ago. For about a week if I wasn't working, I was sleeping. I've persevered and made it to the holiday, now it's time to celebrate!

FYI for anyone using a MiniMed insulin pump, save yourself the hassle and talk to someone directly to order a refill on supplies. I tried using the dial in system and jacked everything up and had to wait to talk to someone anyway making a 10min reorder take 30 minutes!

I haven't forgotten about my bikes I miss them dearly and can't wait for the roads to dry enough to get out and ride! I have all of the cold gear I need to ride comfortably. May 29th holds a 100 mile MTB race with my name on it! Goals is the name of the game this year. Set them, meet them, period.

I'll leave you with a few pics. Everyone please have a safe and happy holiday and New Year!!!

Cold

Went for a short ride today! It was pretty cold, about 33 degrees. My biggest worry was about my insulin pump malfunctioning due to the cold. I had it tucked in my jersey pocket under my insulation layer and all seemed to go well! Thank goodness!

I tried out my new 661 tall winter weight socks with kept my feet super warm and my new thermal tights which we a kick-ass birthday present from my girl! She's the best!

I hope to keep the riding up as long as the paths are free from crazy water and snow, wish me luck!!! :)
