Hey all,
Sorry that I have not touched my blog in about a month. I have been busy riding working and getting ready for school. I moved back in last night, but I dont have internet access yet. (I am using Cats computer) Once I have access I will post. I have about 4-5 videos to put up as well.
Sorry for the wait.

Ada, BTR and Hines
ADA
Started with 41, finished with 25. BRUTAL race. Felt like a cat 1/2 race. I spent most of my time at the front with Craig or off the front with Minnema. Won a $20 prime over Jimi. With 5 laps to go I went to the front and hammered untill my vision started to go. I pulled off with three laps to go and let Craig take over. I rode the last few laps on my own and finished 25th.
BTR
WINDY! That sums it up. We had 5 riders there: Scott, Eric, Dominick, Chris and me. I raced pretty conservatively. I followed Minnema on most of his moves. Chris got in a break or two. It was a long race at an hour and fifteen minutes with some iffy corners. I got to the front near the end and pulled Roger back, but couldnt hold my position and ended up 14th in the sprint. Scott was 7th, Eric was 9th, Dominick 13th and Chris 18th. Video of the race will be up this week (i hope)
HINES TT
It was cold. Woke up at 5:15 to get the car packed and head to the course with Cat and Nick. Nick was doing his first TT ever. We warmed up, and I saw nick off. Then went back to warming up. There was a strong wind that made the ride out fast, the ride back very very not fun. My goal was 27:15. But when I hit the turnaround I died. The wind was horible. I felt like i was riding a flat tire the whole way back. Darrell started 1:30 behind me and passed me at the 9mi mark. Kroske started :30 behind me and passed me at the 10mi mark. But I caught Kroske right on the line. My time was 29:03. 2 minutes behind Darrell and Minnema. 30 seconds off Kroske. I settled for 8th, just behind my teamate John Burrows in 7th. Darrell was 3rd. It was intense and FAST this year.
NICK GOT 3rd IN THE CAT5s! With a time of 35:27. In his first TT ever!
Video of this race with several interviews (Scott, Darrell, Bike Boy, Alexey, Doug, Kroske, Nick and myself) will be up later this week too.
Frankie Andreu stopped by on a morning ride.
Sorry these posts arent very good. I dont get a lot of computer time anymore, busy.
