Enough with the cold already!

This has been the most upsetting winter - too much snow and slop on the roads to ride, too cold for me to ski....erg. I'm done!

Luckily, though, Jay and I got a ride in w/ Ronnie and Timmer on Saturday to give us a taste of spring. (joke was on us that Sunday was the better day to ride, but oh well). We got a great 50 miles in w/ a couple sprints and some nice rollers to get ready for the new season. Still gettin' used to my Garmin, I was blown to bits when I saw the read-outs after the ride and my 1500 calorie expenditure!! Yowza! I had an extra serving at lunch after that one

Other than that, I feel like I've been running on all cyclinders constantly. The super fun thing keeping me on my toes is that I've been making jewelry out of used bike parts from Hollywood Cylces. Currently, they are only being sold at Hollywood Cycles, but I have a website up at Quiet Girl Designs to show off the goods. Hopefully, I'll be able to set up an e-store with it shortly.
Frozen In Time

[items with pictures/images can be customized, so contact me if you have a request!] Superrookie - feel free to send me your favorite picture of you and Dewey, and I will gladly make you an "I heart Dewey" charm!

Next up - IT'S H-WOOD'S BIRTHDAY ON SATURDAY!!!! Stop in and wish the man a happy 29th Bday! hehehe Or head out to the Mood Swings on Saturday night at the Uptown Bar.

El Gato is back

I can't believe it's been an entire month since the last blog. Sure, I'm constantly thinking "I'm gonna blog about this"...but, I'll admit ... I've been runnin' around so much, it's the LAST thing on my To-Do list.

So, in summary, Valentine's Day was romantic as ever w/ chocolates, flowers, gifts, and a homemade dinner for two (my hubby rocks!). We followed that up w/ some rock n roll - Surly Jones style, and Snowball's Chance in Hell to close out the weekend.

As icy as it was, we were all slipping and tumbling for hours. But, with bruised and lumpy elbow and all, I was still able to spend some time revamping my position on my TT bike with the master, Hollywood!

Levi - 3 time TOC winner.....

And now me and El Gato Negro, in hopes to be a first time TT winner...


Ready to ride,

Post Ride Recovery... At the ER

 Thursday night was supposed to be just a typical night out riding mountain bikes with my husband.  Just us, our single speed bikes, and the...
