One of my favorite things to do is take pictures. When I am on the bike, I have an even greater opportunity to capture pictures from a different view that some people may never see since the bike can go places one can not walk nor drive to.

Chillin in the New Year

Core Stuff

Holiday clean up

Getting ready for the new year.

• Finishing those last minute to do things and getting them off the list.

Investment in Health

We purchased a Vita Mix super duper food extravaganza. After watching the demo at Costco and tasting all it's really great soups, smoothies, ice cream and breads we decided to buy one. Ty really likes smoothies and I like soup so it will be a hit in our home. I hope to never to waste any veggies again! I had a smoothie for breakfast, soup for lunch and dinner and I have to say I stayed full all day and probably got 110% of my daily vitamins, proteins and carbs in a very clean way.

I am sure this will pay off with dividends of energy and healthy immune system.

Educational info

Where the streets have no name

Visual imagery works best this time of year.

Team Alterra 2009

Alterra Year End Party 2009

We have more kids then team members now. That's what happens when the adults don't race every weekend.

Alterra year end Party

The Little Red Store was a perfect place to hold our Party. The kids really enjoyed the trains when they went by, probably the highlight of the evening for them. I have video I will post later. In review, the Alterra race went well for 2009 and we look forward to an even better 2010 race. Bruce Keys talked about our efforts in supporting the community in it's grassroots projects for bike commuting. Again, team Alterra was able to donate over a thousand dollars to the Hank Aaron Trail development.

Autum Rides

Do I need to say anything? You can tell by the pictures it was a beautiful, fun ride.

The movie is to demonstrate the beauty of the falling leaves, but it's a bit out of focus.

Bear Paw Podium Shot

Congrats to Ty for his first podium spot in Comp, EVER, at WORS 11 Bear Paw White Lake Wisconsin! Thank goodness he is not wearing the ridiculous sweat pants he wore on a podium spot at Wausau a few years ago. (I told him I burned those pants)

Fat Tire Top 10

Cheq Fat Weekend

Photo by Amy D at the finish

My first Chequamegon Fat Tire race doing the 40 rather than the Short and Fat was a great experience topped off with unseasonably warm temps for early September in Hayward Wisconsin. My expectations were just to go out and have fun and maybe finish before three hours.

Starting off with thousands of males and a few hundred females stirred the nerves at the start but with the slow motion of the lead out, it was not too bad. It was a bit claustrophobic and thank goodness it was not post race it would have been smelly. We turned a hard left into Rosie’s Field and it was a roller coaster ride from then on.

3:11:26 across the finish line for me. Did you know the third fastest overall woman of the day was Catherine Walberg from Topeka KS, her time was 2:28:15 that's fast and she is older than me :-)

It was really fantastic to see Sanjay, Anna, Ted, Andrea and the gang. We had some memorable moments this past weekend that went down in the books.
