moving on.

after competing in 50-60 cycling events per year for the last few seasons, and making markedly little progress, i have decided that i am only a decent bike racer in theory.

not in practice.

so, in light of this, i have decided to announce my retirement from active racing as of today.

i do however plan to be active in the sport, hopefully in a team director role, but possibly in a race director role. (ugh).

for now, i will act as team director for the grumpy's/lgr team, in the role of driving the follow car. i expect to be in that postion as soon as the durand road race, where i hope to be able to pick up most of our riders after they come off the back of the race.
i am also considering several offers from local and semi-local team for director positions. the main drawback being that the is absolutely no money in racing bicycles and therefore the pay is severely lacking.
i however am negotiating for payment in bike parts, food, and floor space after i am no longer able to pay my rent.

if i decide to instead be a race promoter, you can look forward to star-studded fields in the minneapolis area, as i will try to bring in far reaching talent from teams like, wheel & sprocket, all nine yards, clifwater-trek, and skil-shimano.

as an added bonus, i will likely not have to wear lyrca again anytime soon.

see you at the races you lycra-clad hosers!
