Welcome! This blog will chronicle the adventures of a few women who ride bikes. We live in Bloomington, IN. We ride road bikes and we ride mountain bikes. We also race our bikes. We love to ride bikes.
The blog contributors list may grow over time, but to start it is just Cheryl, Randi, and Angela. We will each introduce ourselves.
We'll post stories and pictures about our training rides, training trips, races, and whatever in life seems important, interesting, funny, or just plain silly.
I'll start. My name is Cheryl. I’m 41, I live in Bloomington, and I’m an addict. Kidding! Well I am slightly obsessive about training, and staying fit. So, maybe I am a little bit of an addict. Bloomington is a great place to live and train. For a small town, the number of cyclists is staggering. Think of the movie ‘Breaking Away’ and the Little 500, and you will know what I mean. Just a 5 minute ride from our homes and we are in rolling countryside. We may not have mountains, but we have hills. And plenty of them! We also have superb mountain bike trails right here in town at Wapehani. And just a 20 minute drive is the jewel of mountain bike trails in Indiana, Brown County State Park.
I also run, and swim. Which leads me to triathlons. I love to race xterra (off road) triathlons since I learned to mountain bike at the tender age of 39! Riding bikes is my favorite of the three sports, especially mountain biking.

Here are a few photos from a camping/mountain bike trip we made to Lake Hope State Park, OH last fall.
