Testing...

This is my very first blog post, as you can see. The creation of this blog was somewhat compulsive and likely due to the fact that I am not doing homework. I'd like to keep my family and friends somewhat informed of my whereabouts and biking endeavours. This might be a good way to do it. For those of you who don't know me, I think you should go ride your bike for the same reason you did as a kid--to see how fast you can go and to to test your freedom. Riding a bike is never dull.
This is my home. It's ugly. It's a college dorm, so, by definition it's ugly and things grow in the bathroom. My roomate, Erin Cummings, is on mattress #3 due to a leaky ceiling that drips water from time to time. By the smell of things when mattress #2 had to leave, chances are that the dripping water isn't what comes out of the faucet.

I live in Tucson and am a student at the University of Arizona. Tucson is absolutely beautiful and excluding quarter million or so bad, inattentive, aggressive, uninsured, reckless, and retired drivers it's a great place to ride a bike.


This is my absolutely stunning Orbea Alma mountain bike. When I'm not in class, doing homework, eating, or sleeping, I'm riding. I'm a professional mountain biker racer and am a member of the Luna Chix mountain bike team. It'll be an adventure and I'm so grateful for the opportunities I have with the team this year. I'll do my best to keep the updates rollin' and recount my experiences racing as the rookie-esque member of such an accomplished team. I'll probably mention a thing or two about college and the dorm (and Erin). Have a good one.
