Racing!
Well, that went poorly.
All the UCI points and sweet start position for naught, a first lap crash found my bike and I buried under other riders. I ended up running to the pits and finishing up the race on the B bike with a borrowed rear wheel. I went from the 20′s to the 50′s fairly fast after [...]
Quick photo links:
Phil Varner sent me a link to these Alpenrose Cross Crusade photos! And we found some more UCI Michigan photos here:
Gluing tubulars. Again.
I’m sitting here at 5am on Thursday morning, tubular glue all over my clothes. The Veloshop was busy as hell all week and I did not get a chance to setup my race bikes until the night before my flight. Which, because you asked, is also the season premiere of LOST. (A TV show that [...]
Seattle Starcrossed + Alpenrose Cross Crusade!
What a long weekend. I’ll try and re-cap the last weekend, it is pretty fuzzy at this point. I inheirited a sinusy cold from someone on my flight back from Michigan last weekend and I worked a pretty hectic week at the Veloshop. I’ve had the Oregon Dept. of Revenue on my ass about $200 [...]
That is a little bit better.
I told Sacha I had to improve on yesterdays race. So I did. 7th place, with a sprint to take it! I felt a little better in the beginning of the race but still ended up yo-yoing off the back of the 10 person lead group. I eased off a little bit and started riding [...]
I just flew in to Detroit and boy are my arms…
Damn! Flying is rough but, the last 20 minutes of that one had me sweating and feeling like I was going to barf! Hmmm… My aunt picked me up at the airport and we hauled the bikes and gear out to her house in Pickney. She showed me where her old business was and we [...]
Now, I'm the jerk at Crema…
…who rode her carbon wheels to get an Americano. My ladyfriend is back in town from a long week working at Cycle Oregon. And, I’m dropping her off at the airport tomorrow for another 10 day trip back home to visit her parents. While not having her around and sleeping alone for a week sucks, [...]
I'm the jerk at Stumptown…
…who rode my carbon tubulars to get a soy mocha. Thats right. At least I’m not in spandex. I’ve been on a roll the last 2 months. A quick re cap would look something like: Celebrated my 30th birthday on August 28th. My dad called and heckled me, my mom sent me a couple boxes [...]
HealthNet crit!
Ouch! Dead last! In my usual position, sucking Shannon’s wheel. I get to make fun of Mark for crashing backwards into a curb and destroying his wheel.
Thats great, you won…
…but who do you ride for? Zip it up next time. Amateur.
