Goodbye 2008
2008 is coming to a close:
I figured I would list the 5 best things about 2008 and hopefully; 2009 will bring even better
1. I’m an Uncle! My Brothers son: Peyton Thomas Hilimire was born in June. Little buddha is the cutest guy around, always happy and always smiling
2. I’m getting married! Bridget and I are engaged and never been happier in my life. She is willing to let me go after my dream and will support me through thick and thin. I can only hope to support her as much as she supports me.
3. Moving to Colorado. While this is also a tough one with Bridget (and her son, Lake) back home in NY, it’s been a pleasant refreshment of my mind and soul. For the longest time, all I can remember is wanting to go to Colorado to live. It’s now a reality.
4. Winning Hardcore 24 Solo. I planned my season around this one, and had a perfect race, even with horrid weather conditions and 2 broken brake levers. Magically, with lots of willpower, I fought through and ended up with a victory.
5. Changing Careers. I now work full-time as a Professional Cycling Coach for FasCat Coaching. It’s enjoyable, and exciting to be working in the cycling world and to be at the forefront of training!
Have a Happy New Year!!!! See you in 2009!!
Congrats on what sounds like an awesome year! Great job, great girl, great racing (plus, you’re now a Westerner). Best of luck in the coming year as well!
Nice to get another dose of western NY cycling scenery pix off the website, enjoy your time back home and all the best for ’09, cheers…
