Fall stuff

Yesterday was my first long(ish) ride in a few weeks. I’ve officially decided that Lambert Drive in Fayette County is my most favorite place to ride in this area. It includes a beautiful hardpack gravel section (east of 194 just before Old Solomon Mill) that’s gorgeous at all times of the year. Right now, it’s bright orange and yellow.

 

P.S. If you venture out there, you’ll find out quickly, as Matt and I did, that there’s fresh gravel on Old Solomon Mill. It’s wonderfully deep and slippery. My advice? Keep it in the big ring and pedal as hard as you can.

I realized yesterday that cyclocross racing is starting to further improve my fitness. I feel like I’ve been on an improving streak that started with 6 Hours of Herb and is slowly but steadily continuing. Since I’ve done most of my racing/riding alone, I’m hoping that racing in Nashville and Jonesboro this weekend will draw some tough female competition out so I can have some sort of comparison as to how I’m stacking up.

The road to Worlds is looking cautiously positive.

In non-bike news, I have the most awesome rebel curl in my hair right now. It’s sort of sitting off to the side on my forehead yelling, “eff all of you, I’m gonna go over here and be extra curly, and there ain’t sh1t you can do about it!”

 

And, as always, here’s your weekly edition of “the current Glitch Mob song that Andrea is rocking out to”…

  1. My old mantra: “Train like you race and race like you train”….two days a week of mock CX and one on the weekend all winter and then you’d be awesome (like yer not already!!!) Go whip those guys….! All the gal’s will be sucking your wind this spring….;-)
