A Welcome Post

Hi.  Welcome to The Frumious Cyclist (I'm Fat Cyclist's more frumious cousin...two or three times removed*).

My purpose is to document the fantastic year of bicyling-related fun that lies ahead of me.  There are three major events that I'm gearing up for in 2012:

• The first is the Alberta Ride to Conquer Cancer in late June.  Bruce participated in the ride last year, and assures me that it is super easy when undertaken on a proper ro-ad bike.  More on Bruce's delusions later.
• Chronologically second is the Leadville 100.  After driving through Leadville last fall, Bruce decided to enter us in the Leadville lottery on a whim.  Though the odds were stacked against us, we were chosen to race this year.  I have all sorts of mixed emotions about Leadville (trepidation currently tops the list), but, regardless, Bruce and I will be driving to Colorado for the race on August 11.
• Finally, I'm very excited to be going to Trek Dirt Series in Canmore on August 18-19.  Dirt Series is a mountain bike camp specifically for gnarly chicks who want to improve their skills.

So, all in all, it looks like an excellent year of cycling.  Once the snow melts and the temperature decides to stay above freezing, that is.

* I don't actually know Fat Cyclist, but I do think he's cool.
