Racing!
Yoor paapers pleese…
Here you go. “NON. thees iz naht valeed.” C’mon, are you serious? It is my UCI license. It is valid. “NON, eet iz too saudzand ate tooday. You licenze iz neet goode!” Uh… um. eh. are you fracking serious? You are not going to let me race? “NON. enless you ave zee neuw papers. non.” […]
No luck! Super Prestige Diegem!
Diegem. I love this course. I was smiles the entire time, it is just so much fun to ride. Yes, I have zero fitness and yes, I managed to get a flat tyre again! ugh! This time I rode the hell out of my flatted carbon rim, running in to the pit just in time […]
Hofstade World Cup!
ugh! quick update: I flatted about 4 laps into the race at the furthest point away from the pits and by the time I was done with my little 10 minute jog, the lead riders came through. Once I got my spare bike I chased and pulled at the finish line. Not stoked. The fans […]
het Scheldecross.
So I arrived in Amsterdam and waited around for 3 hours for my luggage at the airport. I did stair running intervals, drank coffee. Got bored and ate dark chocolate truffles till I got sick. Tried to flirt with security personnel. Went out side for as long as I could handle, came back in. Walked […]
Let's fly to Europe.
Where to start? My flight to Amsterdam was F U C K E D. After racing Nationals in KC I dropped AndyWilson off at the airport and then sat around for a few hours before my flight to Chicago. Chicago airport was nuts! My flight was delayed and I had to do the baggage shuffle. […]
"twenty five! twenty five!"
I managed to stay on my bike and barely on the same lap yesterday. The race was pretty rough, as you will read on the cyclingnews sites. Talk about drifting! Never hit the deck but I was hanging that leg out in the corners like a maniac! My heart goes out to the injured riders. […]
Off the back!
Ouch. Must turn no legs in to some legs for the big race this afternoon. Taking the racing so hard the last couple months. I have not had a race since I crashed that I have felt “fresh” at. I’m still riding pretty fast but, the legs feel heavy the entire time. It is messing […]
There is a lot of bullshit on my ipod.
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 […]
Sitting in the airport with…
…team Clif Bar, Jon Verheul and Stu Thorne. We are all pretty zonked out, it was a long weekend. I got 22nd today. (17 bucks!) Finishing was a small victory in itself. The ribs were popping and creaking when I would take deep breaths. And I took a few… Sick!! I got caught by a […]
Give me a break!
Hit the deck really hard with a few laps to go at the USGP #1. Was having a good ride, chasing top 15 and I lost my front wheel on some pavement. Tried to get back on the bike but could not breathe with out pain. Dan Werle dragged me off the course… Thanks Dan! […]
