Cumberland Countdown

Training has begun for MOMAR Cumberland in September. I missed my mountain bike over the winter, let me tell you. I'm hopeful the crash en route to last fall's Cumberland race didn't damage the frame and render my bike useless for off-road riding. I will have to have my favorite local bike shop (Ruckus Skis, Boards and Bikes in PG) give it the once over to see if it will survive off-road training and the race itself.

Missed my trail runners, too. Feels good to be moving. My ribcage and spine are not happy but I'm going to hurt anyways so it might as well be from training.

See you on the trails,
Barb
