P3 and the US PRO Natties

P3 was a HUGE success!!! We had over 600 riders participate in the event and presented GHS and the LAF with a check for $86,000. I'm proud that I had some teammates out there participating in the event too.

The US Pro RR was great. I watched the majority of it from the Discovery Channel tent with my peeps from the bike shop and then watched the finish from the stage. Levi dropped the hammer and did some serious solo-ing. Though I wanted George to repeat I was happy that Levi won and the P3 team was fortunate enough to get a picture with him after he sprayed everyone with Champagne. Also MUCHO congrats to my teammate Kimberly Morgan for coordinating all of the volunteers for the Pro RR, you did a stellar job :)

The Hincapie party after the race was phenom. Good food, plenty of libations and quality people. Everyone from the P3 team was looking most refreshed and relaxed and thank goodness they all went home and showered... ha ha ha. Thanks to the beer wagon being out of the beer I really wanted I was extremely fortunate enough to meet some really cool dudes from Mavic who assisted me with the beheading of some seriously heinous beer foam. I repaid the favor with a trip downtown for some post party meandering. What was a late evening became an early morning and EVERY minute being worth it even though I missed my Monday MTB ride with Sweet Melissa :(

I'm definitely ready to get some traveling under my belt, one of the travel destinations that has been simmering in my heart for several years now has bubbled rapidly to the forefront of my thoughts. Good conversation made me realize that I've got nothing holding me back and that the opportunities are virtually endless. I don't want to look back on my life and I say didn't live, that I didn't do those things that burned in my heart b/c I felt like I shouldn't. I made a big move just coming to G-vegas, who's to say I couldn't do it anywhere else?? As long as there is a bike shop and people that ride on two wheels I'll be able to find a niche.
I'm also more motivated than ever to make sure I work with Medalist next year at the tour of cali!!!
