Hello. Yes finally I am writing a REAL blog. I just got home from my big biology exam so now I feel free as a bird…well that is until the countdown for my final..ugggh! Well, anyways…here it is! So I have been real busy lately with training. It is about the 2 month mark until the LA World Cup. I love racing in front of a home crowd and I hope to make it as exciting as last year. Although it was amazing winning worlds this year I definitely have to say that racing in the World Cup last January ranked a really close second. There is just nothing like having all your friends and family cheering you on. So, needless to say I am pumped for January and I hope that everyone who is in the Southern California area can make it up to the Home Depot Center on the weekend of January 19-21.
We just had our 2nd “Ladies Day at the Track” this weekend. We had 60 women!! Can you believe that! It seemed like everyone had a great time and I hope that we get even more next time. I think that it is the perfect way to introduce women to the track. No pressure, easy environment where nobody is judging you. All the women here are learning and those who know a little bit more than the others are all lending a helping hand. We have our next session on December 9th. Check out www.womenscyclingchallenge.org for more information.
This Saturday I get to go to the Canine Companions for Independence (CCI) graduation ceremony. If you don’t know what CCI is it is a non-profit organization that enhances adults and children’s lives by providing highly trained assistance dogs to them for no cost. I was just introduced to this organization a little while ago and I have to tell you…I have found my calling after my cycling. I will be a puppy raiser!!! Anyone who knows me, knows that I am absolutely dog crazy and now being in touch with some of the other puppy raisers (all volunteers I might add!) I realize that I am not the only nutty dog lover out there!! So I am very excited to be going this weekend…I’m sure there will be many tears shed!
Alright that is enough for now. Just want to say GOOD LUCK to the U.S. Team who starts competing tomorrow in Sydney!!

Sarah, good luck this weekend at LA World Cup!!!
Dear Sarah Hammer,
My dad and I found your website today. Its really cool. I like to race at the Kenosha Wisconsin Velodrome. My record last year was 22 wins and 2 losses. Pretty good for a 7 yr old right. I’ll be 8 this year and have a new bike to race. It’s kinda big but it will work. I hope you win the gold at the olympics this year. I want to race in the olympics someday and the tour de france too. thanks, Your Fan, Emma Ives – Waukegan Illinois
Hi Sarah- found your website by accident but wanted to offer my congratulations to you on all your achievements- Wow I am impressed. Your Mom and I were friends in high school and after in GL and although we don’t have a lot of contact now, I still feel like we are friends and have alot of fond memories. My family will keep our eyes on your accomplishments and wish you the best of luck.

Hey Norma Jean! That was cool that you found Sarah’s blog. You and your family can stay informed on her road to the Olympics in Beijing through her team blog ouchprocycling.blogspot.com. Next time I’m in Michigan, I’ll give you a call.
