i know you all have been missing me

and i am sorry to leave you all hanging...
i was out of it because my grandma passed and that happened right after i started this blog. she didn't ride a bike but she still got around. love you grandma... anyone who has eaten any of my food has her to thank for the goodness that is my cooking... she taught me a lot. miss you...
So i have been riding still and i have done so everyday this year to work. one girl at work said that she hates when i say my commute was wonderful! HAHAHAHA!!! it has been very stress relieving and i think my gut might be shrinking a bit :) in the morning the people i pass are becoming more accustom to  hearing "passing on your right" and i have received some thank yous... this is cool. one of the paths i take has a bunch of new year resolutioners...
i figure this will die down come mid February. all in all i dont see myself driving to work anymore. at all... ever again... yeah right... jajajaja... when it rains i want to still ride but i dont have the proper gear for it. i will get it just not sure when. besides this is CA and when it rains it sprinkles. i am not made of salt so i have no fear of melting away in the rain. i am pushing myself this year in the name of all my love ones that have passed. i have signed up for my first century(100 mile ride) this year the Tour de Plam Springs and that happens on Feb 11. i will have pics and lots to talk about when that happens. i also have set a lofty goal of doing a double century(200 mile ride) in Oct. that one is in death valley. i also will be doing the Ride Around the Bear and i will be gunning to beat my last years time. 10 and a half hours it took me and i NEED to beat that time. that one is a century with 9000ft of climbing. HOWEVER... i want to do this century in feb and one more before that ride... this year is going to be a good year. i will make it a good year regardless of what happens. well i have to clean my place because it will be nice to come home to a clean joint after my ride tomorrow. lots o love... BITCHES!!!!
