2015 Courteney Drives the Civic
On the drive from Tucson to San Dimas, Courteney realized what I meant when I said the Civic was basic.
2015 Zanna on the TT Course
Suzanna flew into California to join us in racing San Dimas. We had a lovely evening spin previewing the San Dimas TT course, which would have been my favorite ever if it didn’t go uphill for 4.25 miles.
2015 Courteney Turns 24
Courteney struggled with the idea of turning 24 last month or, as she put it, getting old. Dude, I have shirts older than that.
2015 Pepper Pillow Fight
This is what really happens when girls go wild.
2015 Peppers Recovery Ride
The three of us had quite a bit of fun at San Dimas. From the racing to the adventures at our Airbnb house, the laughs never stopped. Okay, so there wasn’t actually much laughing during the racing. Maybe just some barfing and a few tears. I also stole a bottle from the feed zone because I was desperate.
2015 A Tree Grows in San Dimas
After one of the stages, I bonked so hard that I hugged a house plant, cried, and accidentally insulted our roommate. That kicked off a spree of tree-hugging.
2015 Post San Dimas Stage 3
I was cranky after crashing out of the crit at one lap to go, so Courteney cheered me up with a spin on the TT bike. The girl really knows how to live it up! Apparently this is what old people do for fun.
2015 Sweet Pig
This pig. Holy shitballs.
2015 Redlands Rest Day
Courteney was served up on a platter for my rest day entertainment. Then I roadtripped to Super Target with Zanna and two boxes of hair dye later, I accidentally have black hair.
2015 Greatest Pet Ever...And Pig
We spend a large part of each day taking photos of the pig. Even when the pig has gas, she is adorable. Same with Courteney.
2015 Easter Bucket
I couldn’t be home for Easter so my wonderful parents mailed Easter to me.
2015 Egg Hunt
Our host family set up an Easter egg hunt for their daughters and the three of us. I found 11 eggs, a lemon, and an old tennis ball.
2015 Easter Baskets 2
We also got Easter baskets! It’s hard to be away from home for a holiday, but our hosts made us feel like part of their family and it ended up being a very enjoyable day. I also won $14 on my scratch-off lottery tickets. That’s more than I won in my last race.
