Alfia Classic 2015

Sorry, it has been so long since my first blog post. It has been almost two weeks since the Alfia Classic and all I can say WOW!!! What Fun! Legacy Ladies ROCKED the trails yet again this year. I am so blessed to have such great Friends who have decided to take the Challenge with me for the past two years. We also beat our Son's team, but thinking this might be the last year we beat them. lol!

I think what I love most about this ride is we get to spend the day with our close friends bonding and talking about our adventures on the trails. After each loop the adventures get greater and more exciting to hear. Not going to lie it is pretty Cool to be out there with my husband and son, hoping maybe in the future Hannah might grow to love mountain biking, but not going to push it to much, because as you know it took me 12 years to even try it again.

There is talk of Father-Son teams next year, that so warms my heart!! I think that idea is SUPER RAD!! What memories in the making!If anything I can share is that not only is Cycling an Amazing sport/activity but you build great friendships and memories in the process!! Can't wait to share more Adventures and Tips!! Happy Cycling:)

Don't be Afraid!!!!

This weekend I am embarking on another Adventure!!! Which still seems funny and odd to me, considering just two short years ago the idea of getting on a Mountain bike and riding the trails was way off my radar.

You see my husband like many guys thought 18 years ago it would be AWESOME to take his then girlfriend on a Mountain Bike trip with the guys. He was wrong!!!! We didn't ride any of the Easy trails, because guys don't do that it is either Blue or Black trails or go HOME!!! Home is where I was wanting to be the whole time on the trail, white knuckles and all. I swore that day I would NEVER go Mountain biking again. 

Well, Fast forward 16 years and then my husband says honey a bunch of families are going Mountain biking do you want to go??? I am thinking is he crazy doesn't he know I swore never to Mountain bike again. But he ensured me it would be Easy trails, but I was still worried since my last encounter I never knew there was a thing as a easy trail. 

So, I went still skeptical of what I had gotten myself into!!! Crazy thing was there were EASY trails I had a Complete Blast!!! I enjoyed the Nature around me, because I wasn't scared to death. Since that Family ride, I have tried Trails that I thought I would never try, I did a 6 hour Mountain bike race with my two Legacy Ladies and friends to which again was sold to me as a EASY course, Correction not Easy but did it!!! 

And this Coming Sunday I am doing it again, but this Time I can't WAIT!!! I am so EXCITED to race, and so the moral of this story is Don't be Afraid!! And start with the EASY trails and move up from there. I have made so many memories have grown as a person and athlete trying this great Sport. If you love to road bike, the skills you use on the Mountain bike will help you on the road. I can't wait to share with you about my Adventures on the bike this Sunday.
