Six Years and counting....

On Christmas Eve, 2001 Mike and I got married (read: "eloped") at the Marin County Courthouse. Mike's daughter Hannah, who was 8 years old at the time, was one of our witnesses. She was just learning to write her name in cursive, and signed it "Hannah"... the court clerk whispered to her "you need to write your last name too!!", "Oh!" she whispered back, and promptly signed her last name in her finest cursive writing as well. To this day we always spend our Christmas eves together, and today will be no different. Merry Christmas!

I'm a Happy TRL Vest wearer!

Those of you who've known me for awhile as a cyclist and training ride leader know that I absolutely hate the helmet covers we have to wear when we lead rides. We call them the "BUHC", short for "Butt Ugly Helmet Cover". It looks like this:

Well, this season I made the suggestion that we design Training Ride Leader vests that are still bright and loud, but fashionable. The vests became available yesterday and we wore them on our ALC training ride today! I am such a happy camper!!!

(note the mid-season shape of my body vs. the middle of winter shape! argh!)

So now instead of looking like a dorky beacon of rescue, I look like an official TRL! And they are just as noticeable as the BUHC so they serve the same purpose without being as dorky...

Loved this...
