<\/a><\/p>\nHe’s a Doctor of Physical Therapy now. We’re all pretty proud.<\/p>\n
Next, there’s Amanda Carey smoking a peace pipe (irony) after she won the Mohican 100<\/a>. That’s the year that I blew up my drivetrain twice and DNF’d. I also cracked my Air 9 (scandium) frame… which led me into the awesome world of singlespeeding.<\/p>\n Speaking of Singlespeeding, that summer, I went to Colorado for the first time. I raced Marathon Nationals<\/a> (my first singlespeed race) and won a bronze medal, then raced the Breck 100<\/a> (first singlespeed 100) and was the only SS female to finish (but not the only one to start).<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/a> The Breck pump track was good times.<\/p>\n In between those two races, I raced my first (and only) Super D<\/a> (won my age group and was 2nd overall) and met my future coach (dude on the far end of the chair) and got to giggle at Deejay blasting downhill on a Jet9 and ringing his bike bell at dudes in full DH kit on huge bikes.<\/p>\n I fell in love with this…<\/p>\n Going further back (I had that phone for a while)- My first time in Mountain View, AR. It was actually in June of 2009 (I told you this would be a random list). How I got there? I’d gone to Lake Sylvia to ride gravel<\/a>. I accidentally poked a hole in the oil pan of my car. My parents happened to be in Arkansas looking at cabins, so they came and rescued me and my bike. I rode some gravel from the place where we stayed and was chased by many dogs.<\/p>\n I found pics of Thor, the smartest\/worst cat ever, when he was a baby:<\/p>\n And, a reminder of one of my least-favorite mountain bike wrecks when I hit my face on a tree<\/a> at Herb Parson’s lake.<\/p>\n I’d taken the pictures trailside because I couldn’t figure out what was bleeding.<\/p>\n So, there’s my little trip through memory lane. Some of you who are newer readers may enjoy checking out the whole stories I linked to. I know I enjoyed them thoroughly.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n
