Kent Park 2010

I had a good "practice" race at Kent Park this spring. I'm a little ahead of my normal early season race shape. Hung with the pack pretty well. Dropped a chain, rode in with the 1-2's and actually hung on to them. Fun!

Winter 2009-2010

It's been a long winter. Record snow cover, record cold, and BIG icicles!
I can't wait for the searing heat of summer and going outside without the need of a jacket.........

State Fair, Bicycle Racing, and Camping

Hello Bloggerati! It's been awhile since I've posted. Mainly because I'm getting converted to Facebook and Twitter. You can follow the links on the side bar of this Blog to follow me on those sites.
Anyway, Jodi, Jordyn, and I had a great time at the Iowa State Fair. Lots of decadent food, free entertainment, livestock, people, FAT people, expensive beer, and ran into good old friends! Always seems like you need more time there though.
I just completed the Altoona Criterium Races series. Fun, fun racing! If you pick the "A" race you get to race with the cat 1,2,3's. This makes for really fast racing. You're basically racing in the same race as some of the fastest racers in the Midwest. It makes for a great work out and helps you get much faster for in your own category of racing. This last race was exciting. I nailed a cone on the course, which almost ripped my handle bars out of my hands at 30mph! Close call! I ended up hanging on in the race for a mid pack finish.
Jodi and my schedules are finally easing up a bit, allowing us to start planning some camping trips. We love tent camping! Headed to a private campground this weekend near Des Moines for some much needed reconnect time. Other campgrounds in the running are; Backbone, Ledges, and Keomah, just to name a few.
Oh, almost forgot to mention, my last bicycle race series of my season is coming up on Labor Day weekend in St. Louis. The Gateway Cup. Four days of fast criterium racing with 90+ guys in my category everyday. Going with good friends of ours, Steve and Deisha, and staying at Jodi's sister's Victorian Mansion, where Penny and Rich treat us like Royalty! It's all a great atmosphere, great Italian food, great racing, and awesome friends and family! I can't wait!
See ya! Keep both wheels on the ground!

He who is quiet, agrees!

Bicycles, Blues, and Barbeque

We had a great weekend at the BBBQ festival in Clear Lake! The racing was fast and exciting. My results weren't as good as I would have liked, but I'm feeling stronger and on Sunday's road race I was in 2nd place with about 500 meters to go but I started my sprint too early and picked the wrong wheel to follow.
My friend, Steve Reyonolds, got entangled with another rider on Saturday's crit and ended up with a hole in the chain stay of his full carbon fiber Trek. Not a good thing. I felt bad for him. Bad luck that day!
The beer was good and cold, the food was tasty, and the music was awesome! I love the Blues! My favorite music to play. I wish I had more time to check out more of the bands. Oh well, maybe next year.
Now I'm focusing on preparing for RAGBRAI. I just have to figure out how many beers it takes to win it! (-;
