I was at a coach’s conference a few weekends ago. It was fun and I met very nice people. Those people are dedicated to coaching young people on bikes and creating life-long cyclists. But enough about that. This isn’t that article.

Oh crap. Just when I think I know nothing about the mechanics and the maintenance of mountain bikes I realize that I know less than nothing. Can you relate? I mean in a town of people who seem to eat, sleep and ride I can’t keep up.

A lot goes into this. And by this I mean the mountain biker part of me cause even when the weather isn’t a mountain bikers dream come true (unless you have a fatty) I’m thinking and I’m scheming and I’m dreaming. When to go to Fruita. Is this year I do a mountain bike skills camp? What will be my next helmet and will my new bike love me as much I am sure to love it. So much goes into this life and don’t even get me started on my main gig. The true love of my life; taking care of my three kids and family.

So, I thought I’d share a few of my favorite things this week (yes, I borrowed that from Oprah). So these things are on my short list and no, no one asked to be on this list. This is all my own crazy.
