Big Plans. Big Dreams.
We all have big plans, and some of us may have big dreams as well. And every once in awhile, dreams become a reality.
When is that deciding moment?
When does a dream that has been floating in your peripheral vision finally come into a grasping reach?
How many minor decisions do you make, small sacrifices, and commitment along the way to solidify your dreams into a black and white reality?
I don’t know. I have big plans. I have big dreams. And one by one, I am taking small steps into making these dreams a reality. Big news. Exciting times. Want to join the journey?
Never lose sight of your dreams. Set yourself small goals along the way to accomplish and use as milestones.

Plan Big, but dont’ forget to Dream Big too.
Merry Christmas
Once again, I am sorry about the lack of blogs. I have been suffering through trying to update the blog a little, and at one point, all I had was the blank screen of death. Excellent. A white screen. A white screen is different then a white Christmas. Let’s give this one a try.
Merry Christmas from the Tetrick Ranch. It doesn’t get much better than this. The air is perfectly clear, with an almost blue tint to it. There is word of impending storms coming, but you couldn’t guess it by feeling the sun today. 65 degrees, warm sun. Nestled in the northern valley, the views expanded from Mt. Lassen across to Mt. Shasta, and to the borders of the Trinity Alps. The hint of rain is heavily anticipated by not only the weathered ranchers, but also the grass waiting for the moisture. But as for me, I soaked up the sun.
Christmas at the Tetrick Ranch is different then most. We like to ride our bikes, and we like our steaks on the rare side. What we may lack in the fanfare, we relish in the simplicity of being together as a family. Life is good on the ranch, and I am happy here.
Merry Christmas to you and yours. May you be reminded of your blessings and be thankful for this holiday season.
Delayed.
Sorry about the huge delays here. I hope you are all planning some great Holidays with your friends and families!
Will be posting soon.
Remember that prom dress? Dug up in the archives to find the prom dress in 2003! Ha.
Happy Holidays!
Lady GaGa
You know I love Lady GaGa, but I think I love the girls that I went with to the show even more! We had a great time watching her as she toured San Francisco.
It was 7 of us. 4 professional cyclists. 2 uber good amateur athletes. 1 electric friend from ACU. Can you pick a better group to go with? Irish national TT champ, US National team riders, EU pros… and a little Lady Gaga! We “just danced” the night away.
Lesson learned: 4 hrs at a concert in high heels dancing is as good as cross training. I woke up sore, tired, and in need of a rest day after this concert. How do people do this stuff? Give me my 9pm bedtimes back!
Dancing + Lady GaGa + High Heels = Cross Training*
*Heart rate monitor was not worn for this equation
We might have upstaged the Lady.
My coach e-mailed me that night to tell me my plan for the next day. I decided not to respond during the concert, but wait until the next morning. We all need a little fun every now and then, right? I couldn’t ask for a better night or better friends!
Back to training, but with some good music to listen to and a little motivation, also a high appreciation for cross training in heels!
