On a roll again.

The healing is going ok. Taking forever but that is the deal I guess.

Pete, and SamK cooked up a huge Dinner last Thursday for an intimate group of friends. It was swell.

I went down to Eugene and won the Fox hollow cx race last Saturday. Then I did another race on Sunday and after the dumbest of all starts EVER I chased back into the race to get 5th place. I felt like I was racing to win it so, the legs must be coming around and the injury does not seem to be getting aggravated too much by hard riding.

I am getting my life in order just to up and leave it for 2 months! I realized that with race travel I only spend 9 months of the year at home.

I’m pumped to head over to Europe. Pete is coming over to stay for a week and I am optimistic about my ribs healing up enough that I can race as hard as I can while over there.

It has crossed my mind far too many times to back out of going over and racing. I don’t feel like I am anywhere as fast as I was earlier this fall. But if anything, I am tenacious to a fault. I’m going to get clobbered but at least I’ll be having fun and looking minty fresh while doing it.
