First Timer!

Yep, we've got a first time blogger here! I'm going to try and give this blogging stuff a shot. I won't presume that very many people care about what I'm up to on a regular basis, but a few (mom, dad?) might. I will try to share my thoughts and adventures regarding what it takes to be a professional level mountain bike racer, who happens to work full time, and who also tries to spend as much time as possible with her patient husband and puppy-dog.
