I suppose the word is out that the reason that I am so crazed about road bike racing is because I do not have to SWIM to the start line. Coming from triathletics, it was always less exciting early in the morning to start a race by a cold, wet, uninviting drinch. Now we are all so civilized and we roll to the start and keep within a reasonable cadence of each other for some time, until one of us shows her stuff, breaks away, we chase, we concor and typically come home with stories, great stories, better than the movies, TV or even most novels. I love to race, I love my life and above all, I love this team.
