the road rash contest.....

Which body part received this "crush injury?"
A. the knee
B. the elbow
C. the heel

If you guessed B, you are correct!
What you see is Abba's swollen elbow right before she recieved 5 stitches....no big deal, no broken bones - it just looks really disgusting which compels me to want to share it with everyone!

So while in the urgent care waiting room one young man thought Abba's jersey was really awesome (was it the argyle or the blood stains?) and he wants to look into cycling with the JETS. The folks at Urgent care were great to us - and Abba is doing fine today. A little sore from getting banged around but she'll be up and training on the bike by tomorrow.

the fundraiser

One week ago we had a fabulous fundraiser to help get the kids to nationals...it was a lot of fun and the pancakes were SO delicious - thanks to Mike Tech, who not only cooked for us but scored the pancake mix as well!

Teck - the pancake machine!

The weather was perfect and I know everyone had a great time! Thank you to everyone who made nationals possible for us!

Campbell Creek tops the morning with footstompin' bluegrass

Today all they guys (from Rolff to Jon) went to Albany where Nano and Joe raced. Afterwards all four of them climbed Mt. Diablo - rather rode up Mt. Diablo. Nano called when they were done to let me know everyone was safe and shared that they were so cold coming down that it was like waking up in the middle of January. Brrrrrr! On the way up they were all talking about the chocolate milkshakes they were going to get on the way home, but Nano informed me they all changed their minds to hot chocolate! Well, it is cold today....so this morning I told all of them to bring something warm to wear. Rolff was thanking me- don't know yet if the rest of the guys "listened to their mother!!"
