I am waaayyyy behind on my Race Reports & Blog Posts for the 2018 season, but rather than delay posting further while I try to write a summary to catch everyone up or backdate a ton of posts, I figured I’d get something up for the here & now!
I am beyond honored (and SO EXCITED!) to have been offered a Composite Team Spot with the Amy D Foundation for the Joe Martin Stage Race, April 12-15th in Fayetteville, AR ( I mean – CLOUD NINE over here – Code Red – Swinging from the Rafters – Can’t peel this grin off my face!!!)
The Amy D. Foundation is a nonprofit organization created in honor of Amy Alison Dombroski, whose love for cycling and life touched many people around the world.
Their Road Racing Program is a developmental cycling program that provides support for driven, talented women who strive to reach the highest level of competition within the sport. The program aims to build opportunity and provide mentoring that promotes strong personal development.
Amy D Foundation – Creating Opportunities for women to pursue lofty dreams.

Jamie & I (& da boys, of course!) left this morning for our road trip from ATX to Fayetteville in the Van, and we’re already spoiled rotten by all of the room for bikes, gear, & luggage, crew comfort, & our mobile kitchen 😁. I’ll be staying with my Amy D Foundation teammates in host housing, & Jamie will be staying with da boys in an AirBnb nearby.
I’ll be blogging updates in the evenings along the way , and posting plenty of little road trip snippets to my Instagram Stories ( https://www.instagram.com/txpaleoracer/) and Jamie will be updating “live”-ish on our Team Tracy ATX FB Page while I’m racing, so stay tuned!

Quick Shout Out as well to the amazing Amy D Foundation sponsors who help to make this program possible!
