Ahhh…Nature Valley…my “hometown” race.  Even though I grew up about four hours northeast of the Twin Cities (where Nature Valley takes place) I began racing competitively in these parts.  It is always nice to be back especially when mom and dad bring boxes of baked goods with them!

Last night the Stage 1, downtown St. Paul, crit got off to a rocky start! The race was neutralized and then cancelled halfway through due to “wet roads!” Yep, that is correct “wet roads!”  I would like to add that the women who started before us raced and finished in the same conditions…what does that say about the men?

Yesterday was yesterday and it is time to get ready for today’s Cannon Falls Road Race…unless of course it rains!
