Holly Excitement Batman

Today I was informed that Team Bob's-Bicycles.com was invited to the Tour D'Indonesia. My First thought was I my gosh I'm going to Indonesia. Second thought was, were is Indonesia? It's between China and Australia if you didn't know. This all I know of right now, other than I will miss the first two weeks back at school. I hope my teachers will understand this once in a lifetime chance, if not I will tell them to get over it.

So with the Bob's Team only able to choose 4 riders, my chance of going is about this big

but they are saying there is a chance so my ass has got to lose some weight and become a climbing machine once again. The whole team wants to go, so it's going to be real hard choice for our director and team manager. I'm glad I don't have to make the decision. So for the next few months I will not be having any beer so don't offer it to me. Sweets are out for me to, no more three bowls of homemade ice-cream here. Lots of no fat foods and fresh foods. I'm bummed that I'm not a for sure but I'm not going to be the only one who's bummed. I'm also new to the squad and I realize that you got to put in your time for these types of things. There is no complaints from me on how this team is ran, and they have only treated me with best respect and gave me a tone of great opportunities already. I will be dedicated for the next two months to keeping motivation high and putting in the time for getting that spot.

Don't stop believin'Hold on to the feelin

Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely world She took the midnight train goin' anywhere...Just a city boy, born and raised in South Detroit He took the midnight train goin' anywhere...
A singer in a smoky room, The smell of wine and cheap perfume For a smile they can share the night It goes on and on and on and on...
Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard Their shadows searching in the night Streetlight people, living just to find emotion Hiding, somewhere in the night
Working hard to get my fill, Everybody wants a thrill Payin' anything to roll the dice, Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose Some were born to sing the blues Oh, the movie never ends It goes on and on and on and on
Don't stop believin' Hold on to the feelin 'Streetlight people

Elkhorn Stage Race.
With stage one being a new road race course, the field was pretty excited to get under way. With the mission being for the worker houses is get in a break and do not work, aka the insurance card. This way my team doesn't have to work in pulling back the break, haha. I made the break and got an ear full for about 70 miles. Sorry everybody my agenda is not the same as yours. With ten miles to go the field caught the break away. I went to the back of the pack and then went right to the and did one pull for the break to bring back a move. Then BOOM, I went right out the back of the field. I rode a slow TT saving myself for the crit. The crit didn't go as well as I wanted put I still got 13. I'm a little disappointed, oh well bike racing. Today's 102 mile was awesome!! My 75 place does not give it justice. The mission was to get one or two guys in the early break, we got three!!! That's how Bob's goes crazy on the field. It was not so easy thou. The first 10 miles of the race was 100 guys single file with attacks almost the hole time. I felt like I was in Belgium in a spring classic. I got lucky. I already had Rose and Brandon up the road so I fallowed a wheel then jumped him when he was blown. The break worked really well together and we had 6 min on the field at one point. After the 3rd big climb team Bob's sat on the back. Waiting for mark to come across we waited. With getting caught right at the bottom of the climb the three Bob's riders took there turns on the front of the select climbers group laying down the tempo. I took my turn on the front and pealed off and spun up the hill in my lowest gear. I also took a pee on the way up. When the job was done all I could think about is Don't stop believin'Hold on to the feelin the song the inspired the team for the whole weekend!!! It's the real reason 3 of us made it into the break!!

Red Bull Feed

Getting ready for Elkhorn. I always do a pre race ride to get my legs all opened up before a suffer fest. Rose and myself where riding back from doing our intervals we say a Red bull vehical











going the other way. I put out my hand towards them begging in my head that would be awesome if I could get some Wings right now. I look back and think I see it coming back towards us nope a dominos car. Dam! Then Rose looks back and says they are coming. Sure enough I got my wings and took a feed right from the Red Bull car. That's what I call getting it on the FLY.

Elkhorn

I have been back in Boise for past few days. I was in Poky hanging out with my Dad and doing a little bag sewing. That's right I can work but I don't like to. I also got to taste some homemade Ice-cream for the first time in a long time. I did the unthinkable I ate three HUGE bowls of it. First was Amazing second was just as good third was not so good to my stomach. I picked J-rose up from the airport last night(home boy had a funky smell when he got into the car) Well the team is heading to Baker city Oregon tomorrow. I'm pretty excited for this race it's my 2nd favorite bike race. Boise twilight #1!!! Anyways Mark S. is going to be the guy racing for the big gc win. The team is looking super solid and going to punish the competition.

Blake and myself went down to alive at 5 in down town Boise last night and there must been a few thousand people out drinking. Dam sometimes life would be much easier not being a bike racer, and start being a Professional hotty chaser. It would be nice to get all tipsy during the week, but in the back of my mind I'm thinking about all the hills and races I got coming up in the next 6 weeks. I will save all those beers for the MT. bike season, BLA. I'm not looking forward to wrecking a lot and not enjoying riding my bike. Tell then I will ride my bike and do nothing besides sit on the couch and wait for the tour to start.

Maybe the Kit for 07-08

What do you think? It's a million times better than the purple.

If I could convert the time that I spent on the Wii today it would of been a rocking cycling work out. I put my body into some big hurt. My estimated norm power is more of a real sign of how it really went down. The Tss is dead on, maybe. I think I really worked on my bowling arm and my hitting arm for baseball. In the last hour is really when it started getting hot! I took off the shirt and grabbed the numb-chuck and did a little boxing. The Tss would of been a lot higher but you know I'm almost pro on the Wii boxing, which throws a real loop into my threshold setting, so the Tss is a little low!!!Maybe

Banana Pancakes

When the pros go to the front it's over! Getting drooped on the first climb sucks but I gave it my all and couldn't get back. I chased on the decent and through the caravan(which is a little sketchy). I and about 60 other didn't have what it took to get there. Mark Santa road really well he got a 10th on stage 3. Matt and Mayfield also had great day on the bike. Rose and me, NOT SO MUCH!!!

Well lets bring on the Local racing that way I can boost myself confidence. Cycling is such a crazy roller coaster! With National Championships one week, and getting the time cut another weekend. All I can say is hopefully that's the bottom of that roller and now we can start climbing back up for another high.

Rose and myself are making some banana pancakes to get the day started, for what I don't know because our bikes are in Oregon. We could spend a day a playing the Wii, or cleaning the house a little, or even talk about that time we got smoked at Mt. Hood. Today we have our other roommate moving in, Blake! He is going to be the perfect wing man for the summer, he already has a girlfriend so he can wheel and deal for us.
