Back in Business

The business of blogging, that is.  There is really nothing like having your computer and back up system die at the same time.  I've been trying to put my computer life back together since June.   Lessons learned?  Have everything backed up in no less than two places.

It's hard to believe that mountain bike season will be over in a few short weeks and Cross is almost in the air.  I've had a pretty fun summer of racing.  And, as usual, I'm not doing as well as I would have liked.  But I can say without hesitation, the competition has been phenomenal this year.

There were lots of mediocre races finishes in June and July, but I was finally able to get a bit of a decent result at CamRock.  Home court advantage coupled with some training tapering being the primary factors for my solid result.

 

Every dog has their day....and I hope to have one or two more before the season ends.  

Overwhelmed but Making Progress.

 I've been a pretty lazy chick for the last few weeks.

 This whole knee situation has been a major irritation.

After a month off, I started riding again this week.....like a grandma.  That's O.K.  You have to take each moment as it comes.  I did get to rip my first singletrack of the season today.  I'm happy to report that CamRock is in fine shape.

As usual the projects have been piling up round me.


I'm no bike mechanic, but I play one every spring.  As the stable of bikes in the Bach household grows, so does my stress level.  Too much to do, too much to fix, too much to upgrade.

Some fairly substantial tasks were undertaken this weekend.

Out with the old.

In with the new.

Who knew that wheel bags were multi-purpose?
