Back from Ray's and Catching Up

What a great weekend! After riding more than 20 hours at Ray's in 4 days, I was able to let my tired hands and sore shoulders rest while hanging out with my family and friends outside of Cleveland on Monday and Tuesday. It was really interesting to experience such a great weekend of riding in the middle of winter, in Northeast Ohio. There were so many girls riding all weekend, and it was easy to see everyone improving and pushing themselves--it was also easy to walk around with a big old grin all day. I'm excited to have such a unique reason to go home and see the fam again next year. I encourage you to plan for the third-annual Women's Weekend at this time in 2010!

Now, back to work. Here are some results from the past few weekends. Sorry for slacking!
