Now it's WOW



Full speed ahead!! first My son did an excellent job in Dillsworth the weekend of Mother's Day!! He wasn't last and he finished the race. He was tired but finished with a smile on his face! I am very proud of him. We have also been riding as a family which Robert needs to stop doing because he isn't training like he needs to, but that is another story. Shawn  got his new road bike, a red and white  Ridley, it is currently under construction and should be completed by this Friday.  This weekend we went to Townsend, TN for my first "Cookie" ride 45 miles or so they said, it was only 41.37 but felt like 45. I will have to say if it hadn't been for Robert I wouldn't have made it up some of those hills, well I would have but it would have taken longer than 3 hours and 30 min to finish. I had a blast!!! Beautiful country and I couldn't have asked for a better partner! It meant so much to be there with my husband and biggest supporter and Kinny Baker was there also and he helped, He would push me to pass Robert. I think Kenny had a good time but he is so hard to read sometimes.  I was very proud of myself and yes I teared up at the finish, who would have thought I could have done 40 miles.......can't wait to do another one!!
