The past week was a little chaotic... Donna has been diligently preparing for some weekend school events for her students, while I have officially pressed the boost button for getting into the cycling season with work. After spending roughly 10 days on the road attending Sea Otter Classic in Monterey, CA, finding the time to ride surrounding a chaotic work schedule proved a bit difficult. Fortunately, I was able to explore some trails in Santa Cruz while managing to squeeze in a single ride from the venue on the flowy trails at Laguna Seca Raceway in Monterey, CA. Meanwhile, Donna has been spending a fair amount of time at the climbing gym and on the rocks connecting with her inner-sender, climbing harder routes than she has in years past. This ought to translate well for pushing a loaded bike up a rocky pass, among the many other positive benefits climbing has to offer the body. We've got some riding planned for the weekend ahead to celebrate my 29th birthday. We're headed to one of our new favorite spots; Canon City, CO with hopes of getting a good long day of riding in while we're there. The typical Colorado spring-time weather has managed to hold true to form with 70 degree days immediately followed by 12+ inches of snow... needless to say, consistent bike riding has been a bit of a challenge.
During this time of inconsistent riding it has been a good time for us to finalize our grass-roots sponsorship efforts. In turn, we have successfully gained some more supporters for the journey and we're proud to send a huge thanks to the following new supporters: Shimano // Big Agnes // Industry Nine // Stans No Tubes // Ascention Sales Group [JetBoil] Again, we could not be more thrilled to work with the brands that we trust in most, it is truly a great feeling. -EH
