I did it.
I just plunked down too much money to reserve my vacation spot for next year.
Where?
State College, of all places.
"Huh?" You say?
Yup....I'm the 1st entry in the 50+ Female solo Division for the Transylvania Mountain Bike Epic Stage Race. Seven -- COUNT THEM - SEVEN (one, two, three, four, five, six, seven) days of mountain bike riding somewhere between 25 and 40 miles a day in the mountains. I'm so darned excited I can't stand it. What a challenge to work toward.
And my team?
Don Wiest Stables. I'm riding for my Momma and Pappa. In case you didn't know, my dad just turned 80 and STILL trains harness horses and hits all the horse races. He claims being active all his life is what keeps him going. There's not a more appropriate team to race for - an active 80 year-old still doing his thing! I wonder where I got my competitive genes? And my dear mother is a type 1 diabetic and currently dealing with a ton of issues. So riding for both of them just seemed right.

Good for you!
You've got some serious races lined up for next year!
Only two! But two big ones. I think I'm done entering anything for 2011. Rick said I shot my entire budget in that one race! He's right... that's one hell of an entry fee - but Oh-so-worth-it. I'll be talking about it the rest of my life. It's like going to Hawaii for a world competition! I'm psyched. Definitley a goal to work toward.
