oof dah!

yeah, so... uh.


...hmmm, how do you do this again? i guess just type out some random thoughts. right?


ok, i think i can get the hang of this again.

well, first off, i would like to *not* apoligize for the lack of posting. i've been having a plenty good time not updating it and doing, you know, outdoor things.

i don't feel bad.

so nvgp has been done to death everywhere, so i'm not gonna spend much time on it, other than to say thanks to all the local boys and girls that were able to race it, mix it up, put on a show, and give us all someone(s) to root for.
awesome. (yeah, even flanders).

i was all over the place last week. trying to work and also be the assistant to the time pro team (link in the sidebar), but it was a lot of fun.
my favorite part;
jared gruber gets the 'most aggressive' jersey in mankato, and comes up to me before stillwater and asks,

"dude, what can i do to keep this jersey today?"

to which i reply; "well jered, since you have little hope of finishing the race, you will have to pull a super-rookie".

eyebrows in the van were raised in question.

i explained further;



and jered was an attentive student;



magical.

prior to these events i was able to have a turn at the course in the 2/3 race. it was a blast. i was unsure what to expect from the climb or the decent, so it was rad that i thought both were super fun to ride.

once a pretty serious weak point, my high speed cornering is getting so much better that i may have to admit to liking crits.
...and no one wants to do that!

i sure do wish i had a 25 tooth cassette though! that hill is a tuffie on a 23!

if any of you retired racers or sram converts have any old campy cassette collecting dust let me know!

so, now that-
nvgp is done
out-of-town work trips are done
and, i'm done moving

i may have some time to ride my bike!

but the question is now; will i ride it for fun, or will i ride it at the richmond roller race?
i can't decide!
