whoa! Sooooo busy!

I don’t have a second to take a breath.
I know, I know… you must think I am living the PRO lifestyle. Lounging by the pool, shooting rounds of golf.
Not so. Loads of email, planning and organizing. Negotiating, purchasing and balancing.

More Toronto photos. I need to write up a brief report on the races last weekend.

Par for the f'ing course.

Geez!
Flatted out of the race with 1 lap to go last Sunday (the foreign tubulars, they are not cheap eh?). Just past the pits on an 8 minute long lap. Game over. As I said, par for the course for me this season.
I swear, if I can just actually finish a bike race for once [...]

Koppenburg!

Selander with a big ride up the Koppenburg today! Sweet! Good work Bjorn. 11th place is a bitter pill, that race is brutal!
Proper barrier technique.
I thought the original six were cylon models?
I’m procrastinating before I head out for a wet ride.
How many times can I shout “what the fuck are you doing?” in a single [...]

Astoria! Let's race cyclocross, drink gin and wear funny outfits.

The funniest thing about everyone wearing costumes is that we pretty much wear goofy costumes every time we ride our bikes anyways.
Sager’s photos are pretty good. Take a look.
There was a team Vanilla – Gentle Lovers TRON theme. Which was amazing, and hats off to Mahoney and the GL crew for putting together the kits.
Racing [...]

Finally back at racing!

I started the Cross Crusade in Ranier yesterday.
While not a glorious return, I played damage control. I’ve got no game right now.
It felt so nice to be on the bike again.

Ouch!

Sven is down and out!
Apparently Bart complained that he lost the sprint because he could not get his hands in a proper position to shift.
Go figure.

ANTWERPSE SCHELDT CROSS, WORLD CUP AND INDOOR ZOLDER HASSELT CROSS, ARMSTRONG INTENDED TO START

Seriously?

If we do see Lance at the Antwerpen race this winter it will be at the expense of few dozen other Euro renners.
Something to think about: at the Euro races everyone negotiates start contracts. The big stars like Nys and Boom pulling more money to start a race than you can imagine. With the lesser [...]

Mil-WAH-kee!

I drove back to Milwaukee after the JP race today. My flight home is at 6am!
ugh. The races, they are not so good to me.
Had a decent start! And then my back cramped up on me again and I dropped anchor.
So weird, I don’t what is happening. Same thing as last Sunday, I just could [...]

coffee. round three.

Waiting to race. So, I’ll be posting up some photos from yesterday.
We made some cornbread that called for flaxseed oil and all Jen could find were the pill supplements so, she cut open the little capsules and we squeezed out enough to use!
I went on a spin and saw this old-timey water tower. I took [...]

Throttled!

Ouch!
Got my behind handed to me today in Wisconsin. I salvaged a 9th place finish behind the Lalonde bros. the Wells bros. and co. Jon Page won, I barely stayed ahead of the 2 U23 Euro riders and I think the Swiss Mueller got 2nd. Apparently Jon Baker dropped out with an injury but [...]
