Chicago Style Gymnastics Meet


Salix's team is all signed up. She is anxious - almost as much as Michelle. Join us in Chicago for a great weekend at Navy Pier. Dates - February 9, 2007 - February 11, 2007. If you've seen Salix lately, you know she's full of flips, spins, and splits-sogymnastics is perfect for her. We'll post more meet schedules when we hear about them. Oh...if you ordered a wreath,they should be in around the 19th.

Back2School Cyclocross - Northfield CX


Whoa...how do you say, difficult? This course had great variety in terrain and skills required. This was only my second race, but definitely the toughest. My favorite part?I caled it the "Nautilus". Riders went into a spiral set up and then out in a spiral - without crossing paths. It was a great place for me to gain time on some very fast riders. My least favorite area was the massive run-up, er...walk-up. This hill was terriblly long and steep. 90% of those in my race walked up the hill. I managed to not kick my wheel in and not crash! Mission accomplished. I'm through racing for the year. Maybe I'll ride my bike a bit in the winter months. We'll see.Anyone thinking of an Xmas/birthday idea for me?
