IT HAS BEEN A WHILE :)

Well, since I have had a lot of time on my hands lately I will update my blog. I have been sitting on my butt for the last two months waiting to heal up from my slow moving accident at VF park. I had an open fracture of my tibia and fibula July 4th, with resultant surgery the same night. It is really a weird sight to see the bottom of your leg sticking out at a 90 degree angle and your bone poking through...yuk!!! Took them about an hour to get me out of the woods. They had to do a rescue with the fire company. I am partial weight bearing with crutches and my doctor said not to ride yet...but what does he really know? I rode around my neighborhood!! First time on a bike in two months!!! Felt great. I know I am a long way from mountainbiking, but it felt great to get my butt back on a bike seat.

Great ride today.

Today we had an all girls ride, and an all 29er ride. All 4 of us were riding various 29ers, 3 Engin's and one IF. It was a beautiful day in the woods. Almost forgot, we also had a mouse with us..yup Mouse is Jill's dog. He is really great on the trails and never tires. He must have some herding breed in him because he trys to herd all the bikes together.
Today was my husbands birthday..he is now a middle aged man.

I will give it a try

Since everyone else is doing it, I thought I would try this blog thing. Not a great writer, but here it goes.
Today was cold and rainy and not a good day for a ride. So what do I do best on a day like this? Go shopping!! Yes, you will see, I have a real problem with spending money. I just can't get enough!! E bay is my real nemesis, buying bike stuff daily, but I also love shoes, pocketbooks (coach), and jackets (leather).
Hit Nordstrom's sale and helped stimulate the economy with 2 pairs of shoes and a nice MK leather handbag. If the weather had cooperated I would be in the woods and not spending any money...oh well...tomorrow is another day.
