The Track.
Yesterday morning I woke up to reading an article widely spread on my Facebook feed regarding the probable loss of one of the best cycling education resources we have in Minnesota, the National Sport Center Velodrome. It struck a cord when I shared this news with my…
Girona, Barcelona, Costa Brava, end of Ride Camp, and Vienna! WHAT’S NEXT??
PART 1 Oomph! What a stretch! I’m currently hanging out in the van in Establiments, MA, Spain holding tight to refresh some guesties bottles on a hot avid route – Day 6 of Ride Camp. It’s day 28 of 29 straight guiding for this gal.…
In one week’s time…
Every day seems like any other, but so much is learned. Things I’ve notice: Although my name is Terra, it’s pronounced differently since the rr’s are rolled. It’s fun having a new name in a new country. Te’-rra In our small town of Alaro you…

The Next Chapter
With the conclusion of NVGP 2013, this means break time! I’ve now had a few days of no riding! Ok confession, I did an AM spin with a friend Monday morning, but just to enjoy the conversation. It’s been absolutely wonderful catching my breath! I…
NVGP Day 2
I had that good feeling heading into 93 miles. I wasn’t really nervous even though this was the longest road race I’d had ever raced. We started out SO conservatively which was very surprising since there was a KOM at mile 5 and mile 10,…
