A very promising 2009

I have had some questions about what team I’ll be riding for next year. Sobe Cannondale was the team I wanted to be on ever since I started bike racing. After 3 years of applying, I finally got a spot on the team and never thought I would be leaving so soon. They have been nothing but amazing to me and I’m sad to be leaving the team and all the great people.  I don’t look at this as leaving anything behind, but as a large step in the yellow brick road of my bike racing journey to carry me higher.   When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade, and when Topeak Ergon invites you to join their international team, you jump up and down and say HELL YEAH! I couldn’t be more flattered that they have asked me to join the family and am really excited for the ’09 race season! I can’t tell you how excited I am. 🙂 They are also adding 2 other U.S. riders that are still TBD.  Hopefully you guys will still love me in green, black, and white raging on a Rotwild!!  There are some other changes that are being made for 2009 for my racing career, so stay tuned!!! 😀
