So we wait...

Well its January 14, most people know who they are riding for, and have sponsorship well established. We, four of us formerly riding with the now defunct Visenka (unfortunately), are riding for Gu, DeSalvo Cycles, Scott Clark Photography,and ?????? Lets just say things have gotten weird. Things promised suddenly are up in the air now....its 2009 already....the beauty of it, WHO CARES! Pete has been the man going to bat for us and allegedly today we will "know for sure" if our title sponsor is on board....hmmmmmm. Well regardless we will be racing as hard as ever, training as usual. Maybe a little poorer then we would have....onward and upward!

Rode in this a.m. after dropping the kids off at school. Tired legs for some reason. I just road the dirt along the trail to expedite my arrival at the office. The ride home will be a bit more fun on the single track along the river up around Lake Natoma and then home to gymnastics practice and homework!

Marja and I decided we have to start with a consistent lifting routine, mainly for the SS, but piece of mind as well. Also starting a core-workout daily (yeah that's right Marja, tonight!!) to get ready for the upcoming season. Which starts in a week in a half technically at Granite Bay. Shorter than usual cross country race, fast (34x16 or 15 compared to my usual 34x18). Its fun, but bang for your buck at this time of year....dunno, we may be riding out in Auburn instead, haven't decided. I'd say we'd be there to represent our title sponsor, but since we haven't ordered our team kits let alone KNOW if we are riding for them.....Auburn seems to be the ticket. We'll see.

I am looking forward to a fun weekend, Cam is having his last indoor game of this session, Annika her first official gymnastics meet and my folks will be up to watch!

Annika's second from the left, she might be the youngest one out there but she isn't intimidated!!

Annika's patented "folded arms," for her it means she is serious, unless its with me, then it means "defiance." She loves her coaches!
