    I am really on a roll with this whole blog thing now 😂 I just realized I never discussed my somewhat finalized race schedule for this season. I actually don’t have a lot of races this season because I will be leaving for Michigan in mid-August, but I still plan on hitting all my favorites and...

    Time for another update that I promised for a while! I have finally made a decision about pharmacy school. This was a very difficult decision for me, and I was surprised that I even got into this school because of some issues I had with my application and a professor at UConn not getting back...

    100%. White reflector is the best trail I’ve ever ridden.

    So the wait is finally over! I have a bike now, so I can do a bike check! First, I want to thank @jdog for helping me out with this and building a sick rig! So this absolutely beautiful bike is an XS Pivot Mach 6 in Mint Relic, which is a sick blue/green color. I will also be adding...

    I actually haven’t said what bike I’m getting. I’ll keep that a surprise until I do my bike check! I actually have never put rice in meatballs, but I don’t think I’m opposed to it.

    I promise you won't have to wait much longer! I should be picking up my new bike sometime towards the end of next week, hopefully, since I'll be home for spring break, so I'll do a bike check then! As far as pharmacy school, all I can say for now is that a decision has kind of been made, but...

    So I decided I would do a little blog post not really related to biking but more about life in college/ what goes on in my head at school, but I should have a blog post coming up soon with a bike check, which I am really excited about! If I had to title this blog, I would call it homesickness...

    There is a place in PA by my sister's apartment that has really good croissants but that's not very close 🤣 I also love the croissants at farmer's markets in Vermont. Actually there is a place by sugarbush that is at the Waitsfield farmer's market on Saturdays in the summer that are really good...

    So the ingredients are basically the same but … the shape of the pasta makes a difference. Most of the time it’s the texture and the way it takes the sauce. That’s why all pasta is not the same. The brand and if it’s homemade also makes a difference.

    This is just a very false statement. Not all pasta is the same. For example, if you're having a pesto, your choice of shells is a respectable, but if you're having a bolognese shells are just not the appropriate shape.

    So I have a question for my blog readers. I actually can't believe I haven't asked some of you this before, but ... What is your favorite pasta shape? Personally, my top three, in order of my most favorite to my least favorite, are rigatoni (mezzi rigatoni to be specific), pappardelle, and...

    Currently working through that right now actually. Let's just say some exciting stuff is happening, and I hope to do a bike check eventually ... In terms of training and exercise, I do a mix of spin classes and strength. Twice a week I do a combination 45 min spin and 30 min upper body/core...
