Won't Back Down

 I fully enjoyed the premiere of "Won't Back Down" at the D Note in Arvada, Colorado recently.  Can't wait to get it on DVD.  The Royal Racing guys did a great job at the event bringing along tons of raffle prizes, stickers, and they even hung up some fine looking jerseys on the wall.



Before heading over to the premiere, I had the opportunity to enjoy some fine weather on the DH bike, and test out my new Spy breast cancer awareness goggles.  "I love boobies!" Cheers to my friend Kristy who survived breast cancer and is back on the bike.

In other other recent adventures, the high country is still fairly full of snow in Colorado, so I have been enjoying hiking the doggies in the snow at Rollinsville.

I was excited to get my new GoPro and can't wait to use it.

And, yes, it is still somewhat mud season around the place.  I did a number on my cross country bike out riding it the other day.  Sean was kind enough to scrub all the mud out of  every nook and cranny.  Fortunately, I have since found some drier trails.                                  With respect to the food part of my life, this is my new favorite breakfast of champions (it involves a blender), Banana-Pecan Pancakes:

1 cup oats

1 cup egg whites

1/2 cup cottage cheese

1 banana

1 tsp. vanilla extract

2 tsps.  baking powder

1/4 cup pecans

 

And, finally, Sean and I joined the stein club, so we have felt obligated to use it.  We love our life!

Looking forward to an awesome race season!

Today was a fabulous day as I am finally all cleared by the doc and back on a full training schedule.  Check out my happy face!  So happy to be back on a trail outside!  The trainer bike and road bike are fun and all, but there's just not a lot of variety there.  It was awesome that it didn't snow today, so I went out for a cross country ride.

Super happy with the new ODI grips as well.

Rocks and plenty of dirt around the trail today.  It was nice to enjoy it, especially since it might snow all over the trail by tomorrow.  You never know in Colorado.  There was some mud on the trail, which I was stoked to ride through as well since it gave me positive thoughts of looking forward to the hero dirt that can form up at Port Angeles, WA with a bit of moisture.

Nice view of some snowy mountains on the top of the trail.  It was quite the nature experience today as one part of the trail was full of howling coyotes, and later on a herd of deer passed by the trail.

I rode until dark today, but soon the time change will come and I will have so many more hours to play after work during the week.  Looking forward to it!
