Summer Daze

Hot, muggy, days,

The taste of cold ice cream,

And the smell of bug spray

All add into one word: SUMMER.

It also means that summer sports are waiting.

As you know mine is biking.

So far this summer has been pretty exciting.

From getting 2 new members of the family, which are Kariah & Kalasia, from the other side of the state, to jumping into the St. Clair River.

We went to visit cousins and camped with them in Muskegon, and I caught a snake in the creek there!

So far summer has been a blast!!!

But that’s not all!

We're going to go camping up in the U.P. in a week!!!

MAY YOUR SUMMER ADVENTURES BE AS EXCITING & FULFILLING AS MINE HAS BEEN SO FAR!!!!!!!!!!!

AVERY OVER IN OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Catching Up

Addison Oaks, The State Games, and Bloomer are next!!!

Addison Oaks- Fun, twisty-turny trail. At Addison, you could get high speeds of 25.0 out there!With lots of long, downhill parts, I got plenty of momentum to go up the next hill without having to pedal! I got 1st, with a time of 41min.

The State Games ( Cannonsburg ) -With lots of uphills, Cannonsburg was NOT that easy. But with lots of hard work put into it, I ended up with a 1st, with a time of 38 minutes.

Last but not least, Bloomer Park - Since they re-constructed it, there were parts of the trail that I didn't know about. Which was mainly the reason why I wiped out a few times ( and I did ). My worst fall in there was when I hit a root, then a rock, and then I RAMMED into some bushes. Man, was that bad. It took over       5 minutes to shake that one off!!! 1st place out of 4 other boys, with a time of 42 min.

August is going to be a busy month with 3 big races, Big M one of my favorites, next I'm going to take on the 45 mile Ore- To- Shore, then I'm gonna wrap it up with Maybury.


Wish me luck for further to come!!!!

Counting the Mileage

      As you know my two most important goals this year are to achieve riding 1,000 miles and earning $1,000 for Cardiac research. Now, 1,000 miles, thats a LOT of miles! But, hey, everyone has certain goals, right?
So that's why I'm COUNTING my miles!
      By the way I've done 207 miles already. Even though I still have a long 793 miles left to go, I'm not gonna stop 'till I achieve it!
No, better yet, if I can, I'll go beyond my goals!


Wish Me Luck!!!!!!

Moving along people.

      It's been four races already! The year seems to be moving along. So far I've done; Yankee Springs, Pontiac Lake, Island Lake, & Stony Creek MARATHON.

1. Yankee Springs, was a fun twisty-turny trail. It was the 1st race of 2013! I was a bit rusty, because the last race I did was the Iceman, last year in November. I earned a 3rd place medal.
2. Pontiac Lake was next up. Another fun twisty-turny trail. It rained the entire time I raced! Super muddy! I barely had any gears to use because of the mud. It was also the most muddiest race I've ever done. A hard earned 1st place medal was my reward.
3. Island Lake, Momentum trail... Built for EXTREME speed. This was a pretty fast race! I hit a max speed of 28mph... I earned a 1st place medal. Hard work, hard earned.
4. Stony Creek MARATHON, was a fun & hard trail. Stony is twisty-turny & you NEVER know what's gonna come up next, so be alert on that trail!!! This was my first SOLO race of the year. No chaperoning for this girl!I collected a 2nd place medal, almost had 1st place in my grasp! 7 minutes away from my opponent.

      So, that's the scoop. Make sure to check back on my recent updates!!!
Thanks for supporting my efforts!!!
