After flying over the salty gigantic (yes gigantic… the flight was oh so long) ocean we made it here, being the land where the Kangaroos jump wild (maybe run, but I am guessing mostly jump), and ever since have been riding on the left hand side of the road. We being Katharine, Lauren, Alison, Carmen, Christine, Craig, and Andrew are camping in our sweet camp ground houses.

And what a difference a day makes. For one the first day we got here I thought I was going to have to start doing toe exercise because they were so round and plump… oh yes this is true, my shoes were a bit tight or actually really tight. And you know thats what they (being someone says) if your clothes are tight… well, you know what I mean. Anyways, thanks goodness I don’t. But that isn’t what I was really thinking about, I really can’t believe how hot, and when I say hot I mean scorchin’ it was yesterday and how I was wishing I brought my swim goggles with me today.

But in way more exciting news…

Tomorrow the action begins here in the land of Azzie where we will be doing a race against ourselves in the am and a race with others in the afternoon.

But for now…

It is time to go eat some dinner and do the usual pre race stuff… find all my stuff.

 Shammie tanning has officially began here in Cali, California. We (being all 13 of us on ValueAct Capital cycling team… Hannah, Taitt, Sharon, Marni, Lara, Katie, Leah, Martina, Courtenay, Nicole, Lisa, John, and Me) have been enjoying the oh so delightful weather here in Healdsburg were the hills are filled with wine. Yeah, I am thinking the same thing… make sure there is one water bottle empty for the spring

I have to say I haven’t found one yet, but most mountains have natural springs so I am hoping one of these hills have a natural wine spring…

Anyways, I officially don’t have a computer still so you must look at Martina’s Blog for pictures and all my other teammates blogs who have been blogging….

We have been riding up and down and around all before the first race of the seaons comes our way, but not my way. Most of the girls are racing the Santa Rosa crit where they will be making right hand turns. This works out great because we have this awesome fountain in the driveway we circle around for seconds even minutes a day…

I, along with Katharine, Alison, Carmen, and Lauren head over the Pacific Ocean toward the land of Azzie where we will be later joined by Brooke.

I will take lots of pictures and as soon as I get a computer in a year or two I will for sure put them up on my blog.

For now it is almost time to eat dinner followed by a pillow fight and a hot tub dip.

Until next time have a good time,

:)Chrissy

ps… I am totally kidding about the pillow fight. We all get a long really well on the team and don’t fight.

pss… we really haven’t been doing a lot of camping. I keep hoping we are going to roast marshmellows and make smores, but the ice cream is a good second
