The racing is underway! March isn't even over and I have done 3 crits, 2 road races, and 1 stage race (plus numerous unsanctioned races to town line signs against my coach*).
The racing in CA is a different scene than in the midwest -- even the small races have big and deep fields with several teams represented for the women. And the races in March have been warm and sunny -- no wonder more people show up. The thing that is missing, however, are the friendly and familiar faces from the Chicago scene...
Having awesome teammates has made for an easier transition though. Tibco has not only a super strong roster, but a group of all around good people (both riders and staff). I am psyched to wear the jersey and be a part of it! We've gotten off to a good start with several wins and podiums and look forward to a lot more success this season (follow on twitter and facebook)
Next up for me are the spring classics:
Hopefully between racing my bike, eating waffles, and hanging out with the team, I will have some time to update the blog about my experience -- I can't wait!
*which I easily won :)
