Steady Does It
19 Dec
Not much to report of late; Justin and I have been getting in some good steady, solid riding, and working to eat healthier and cleaner at home. Still eating good and enjoying life, so we are stoked.
My cross campaign for 2011 ended a few weeks ago with the Downtown LA So Cal Cross UCI race, so from here on out it’s just getting in the saddle time and enjoying the ride!
In the meantime, here’s a photo blog of the latest and greatest –
Post-ride snack of caffeine-free herbal tea and sweet potato/yam/cranberry/shredded coconut medley
Spaghetti squash with homemade sauce and ground turkey
Sunny training day on the road
Roasted kale chips (my new favorite snack)
No grain weekend breakfast (shredded chicken slow cooked with anaheim peppers and bacon, avo, baked yam)
Zionna, founder of Mammograms in Action, “Don’t disrepect me, bro!”
Decent holiday brew
It’s pack-riding time!
Taking no chances… in addition to battery powered socks I’m training in winter shoes. When it’s 60F out. Yup. Prepared. COME AT ME, BRO!
Have been waiting since February for some of this!
Love jalapeno’s in the breakfast scramble!
Exciting Friday evening at the Mann residence… Scrabble and tea!
Saturday road ride
The infamous carrot cake (I had a corner)
Our very own “cadence crusher” on LSM
Nice day for a ride! With Tonya and Alex in the mountains while Justin raced
Going down?
Awesome post-ride beer! Thanks, Alex, for the share!
Until next time… keep the rubber side down!

After a successful 2010 that led Allison to her 1st international competition, at the 2010 UCI Mountain Bike & Trials World Championships in Mont-Sainte-Anne, she succumed to an injury that kept her off the bike and out of training for 2011. Missing out valuable training time, race experience, and needed results in 2011, Allison has ensured 2012 will be a solid year of training, racing, and new experiences across the country and internationally where she plans to race and promote Bikes for Boobs benefitting Mammograms in Action. She continues to ride and race with mutual support from Rock N' Road Cyclery in Orange County, as well as with her husband, Justin.
