It's been a long long time since my last update. So, I'll fill in some of the blanks.
I'm still racing and training, and I've been racing in the elite field for a few years now. I won a USA Cycling development foundation award in 2014. I've attended two rounds of national competition and am preparing for my third this summer at elite track nationals. I'm now a member of the USA Cycling Sport Committees, as I was elected this fall. And, I've caused a bit of policy stir a few years ago as well.
While I've been quiet on ostomy issues, I've been doing quite a lot of writing about gender and sports. You can read about all of that here: thetcycle.com
I'm still me, but I've come out of my single-issue closet and am a more complete person now. It's an adjustment for everyone around me, and I'm thankful for having amazing friends.
Happy racing and riding!

This project is about the adventures of a guy who loves to bicycle. I also happen to have Crohn's disease, and later complications from it, which required me to have emergency ileostomy surgery in July of 2009. I'm hoping to show that having guts doesn't require guts! And, that life with a chronic illness can still be pretty awesome, despite the challenges. And maybe, just maybe, in the process I'll make some sense of the happenings of my life.

Gutless so, so doesn't describe you. I have some experience of a few of the issues you write about - though I'm pretty securely woman/woman myself, five members of my immediate family are more complicated in one way or another. I have had to learn about these issues throughout my life, that's putting it simply. I found your blog because I wanted to know if I could cycle with an ostomy and now I find there is this other connection. I'm cheering for you, from across the pond. http://thecyclingstoma.blogspot.co.uk/
